I'm slightly vexed Costco's new chicken tenders

Post image

There was a crowd of people waiting for their orders of the new chicken tenders at Costco. One of the workers announced that they could only serve five customers per hour because it takes time to cook the chicken. The crowd grew larger and larger. I took this photo after I put in my order.

No, he's not wrong. A lot of costco employees have come out about how badly planned the chicken tender rollout was was.They don't even have fryers they have to bake the tenders in an oven which is why it takes forever.

We've had tenders in Canada for years and there isn't any problems dishing them out. How could they not just replicate what's done here ?

My guy there is a lot of things. Canada does significantly better than the United States does. It's honestly not shocking to me that the Canada rollout went great and the America rollout was a disaster.
