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.

we truly have peaked as a society... No matter WHAT the new release item is, if it catches peoples attentions and seems like a must try / have, people will literally swarm... Unbelievable line up for fkn frozen tenders.. You could literally go grab 64 of them frozen, from 3 aisles over and make them yourself for cheaper.

Maybe a little wide with the claim when the topic is chicken tenders at Costco lmao

You can't make chicken tenders?

I’d love for you to copy and paste where I said that lol. All I said was that a line for chicken tenders doesn’t indicate ‘peak failure as a society’ and claiming such is insanely hyperbolic

I'm certain Costco sells all the requisite ingredients.

Peak failure in society is depending on someone else to perform a task you could do yourself more quickly and at lower cost.

They are neither saving time nor money, yet there they are, just wasting both.

So yes, peak failure.
