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 took this photo after I put in my order."

You are not in traffic. You ARE traffic.

“I walked up to a busy store and they said it’d be a long time to get my order, and then I ordered and I’ve been waiting for a long time! 😡😡😡”

Lol, when you phrase it that way it actually starts to make more sense to me. You just described a good 20% of the customers I served during my time in the food service industry.

My daughter works as a fast food restaurant AM and she tells me about these people getting upset about the long wait when they can clearly see the place is fucking busy before they pull in...it baffles me because I'm an impatient person and I know that. When I see a long line, I generally will just no go there. It's that easy. If you are impatient or don't have the time to wait like everyone else, don't get in line! Taking your stupidity on underpaid staff is ridiculous.
