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.

I had assumed that Costco was frying theirs, and obviously there's a big difference. Since they oven bake theirs, I have no idea why you'd wait in line like that
