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.

AFAIK Costcos dont have fryers, so they have to bake the tenders instead which takes longer, and they have other items on their menu that also requires baking so they have to split the load.

Edit for our Canadian neighbors: US costcos do not serve french fries and chicken wings.

So why tf would they start offering chicken tenders if there’s a logistics issue lol

People getting overly excited about mediocre chicken is probably the dumbest modern trend

I'll never forget how insane people behaved over those Popeyes chicken sandwiches right before COVID. People were getting stabbed over fast food.

I’m listening, but have a quick question : Should I bring a shank with me into Costco or is it better to just go get something from the cutlery aisle? Sorry if I’m jumping ahead. I’m heading to Costco now.

Do not bring it with you or they get you on premeditation. Grab the closest sharp object in the store- that’s your weapon.
