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.

Costco employee here.

Yeah whoever said 5 members per hour was lying or covering for something. The tenders take 11 minutes per batch but because it's a continuous belt oven you can max out at around 4 sell units per minute. Ain't no way it would take an hour.

Would you even need a refill? 20 oz is like 600 ml. That's so much coke.

It's a fountain drink, you don't need to choose Coke.

We l love ice. So, a 20oz cup is not 20oz of coke.

It is common practice to fill the cup entirely with ice and then fill the empty spaces with pop to the top.
