Getting a hot dog at a baseball game is something that just has to be done. The game isn't the same any other way.
But fans of the Kansas City Royals might have a different perspective after this past weekend.
According to kctv5.com fans weren't too happy with the hot dogs that were sold for $1.
The Royals held "buck night" and Neal Ross was disgusted by the dog he received. "You just couldn't eat it," Ross said.
So what happened when Ross tried to take his hot dog back? "They kind of told us, 'Well, they're a dollar, so you get what you get,'" Ross said.
When you first hear about "buck night" it seems to be like an awesome promotion. I would have most likely bet my friends who could eat the most hot dogs.
Aramark, the company that runs the Royals concession, says there wasn't anything wrong with the dogs that were served. The picture above suggests otherwise.
It's notable that Aramark also provides the food for Michigan's prison system. They were accused of serving prisoners literal garbage a few weeks ago.
Aramark gave kctv5 the following comment.
"Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us and we take all guest concerns seriously. During Friday night's game, where we served 63,000 hot dogs, the Kansas City Health Department was onsite to inspect our buck night hot dog operations and found no violations. We are aware of the images posted to social media and are in the process of investigating and contacting those guests to get more information. As previously stated, we strive to ensure the food served at Kauffman Stadium is great tasting, of the highest quality and safe to eat."
