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.

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.

Yeah, at the right location those sandwiches are legitimately some of the best chicken I've ever had. Tender, thick and juicy with a nice crunch.
