Special Deals:
"I’m Here for the Rotisserie Chicken" Discount:
$5 off your admission when you buy a full rotisserie chicken from the Costco food court.
(The Saiga will not be impressed, but you’ll get a 10% chance to witness it eating a vegetable from the produce section. Maybe.)"I’ve Seen the Saiga Escape" Package:
Free! – If you’re lucky enough to witness the Saiga make a daring escape, you’ll get free admission to the next zoo visit. (You’ll also be given a coupon for a free 2-liter of soda, which may help you forget the trauma.)
Other Charges:
Emergency Saiga Chase Fee:
$15 – If the Saiga decides to dash out of the store, we may need to bring in a team of Costco employees (and maybe a few concerned customers) to help recapture it.
(Charge applies to anyone who might be involved in the pursuit.)“I Just Want to Pet Something” Animal Swap Fee:
$8.99 – If the Saiga is not available for petting, visitors may choose to interact with inflatable flamingos instead.
(Note: Flamingos do not respond to petting, but they do look cute.)
Final Warning:
No refunds. No guarantees that the Saiga will even be in the store. No promises that it will interact with you at all. But hey, you’re getting a very unique experience, so really, it’s a deal!
