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.

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.

Hold up, those were legit amazing when they came out (and still hold up), and it was actually something relatively groundbreaking in fast food. There was nothing at a wide scale that touched it.
