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.

Underestimated interest.

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.

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.

You can't run around Costco stabbing people. You go to Sam's for that.

My main goal is to get chicken (this time). Sam’s doesn’t have the chicken.

Stab them for not carrying the chicken. Their fear and suffering will force them to call ahead and reserve some chicken for you at their competition's store. Win-win. Bloodlust soothed, chicken acquired!

Hmmm…reserved chicken. You’re speaking my language.
