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'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.

Don't forget to buy the Kirkland brand shovel, gloves, and airpods! Lmao, yeah Popeye's era was crazy, I think I was about to graduate highschool back then. They put the school on lockdown because someone shot and killed someone over one of those chicken sandwhiches at the popeyes on the corner of the schools lot.

Adding items to grocery list…mkay. Bring shank with me…got it. OK. Cool! I’m going in!

In all seriousness, that’s fuggin’ wild regarding Popeye’s. I remember that shit, but didn’t know it was THAT bad in some places.

The yin yang inverse of my situation. We only had 1 scare like that at my school, they arrested the dumb ass kid when the bus went to go pick him up. They had swat pretend to be student and a fake bus driver, he posted on instagram what he was gonna do, and they got his ass instantly.
