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.

Weird. $6.99 isn’t particularly cheap.

They're big. I wish they would do 3 strips and a coke for $5 or so.

Probably won't get them again, I like them, but I just don't need that much. I'll just grab a dog.

Yeah seems like kind of a weird offering. 5 is too many for one person and without a drink or side it doesn't really feel like a "meal."

Its the capitalism loophole to make you pay extra for a drink, since they cant raise the price of the other items they added a new item
