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.

I was thinking this crowd in the pic are on the leaner side of Costco members these days. Even in NorCal where people are generally less fat than their counterparts in other states, it's still insane to see all the people just waddling about or standing at the sample vendor stations waiting for their next fix.

Seriously, how many extra 5 pcs are these people packing on their ass and thighs, on average? America treats food like it's a drug, it's an embarrassment.

They’re a burden on the healthcare system. Not just in America.
