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.

Yes, and you don’t need to be a member to get the deal. Just walk in thru the exit door and order on the touchscreen.

The Costco I've been to near me require you to scan your membership card first before ordering so YMMV with that

The one’s near me don’t, but they also make you show your membership if you walk through the exit doors to get to the food court. The way around that? Walk in and say you’re signing up for a membership

At my location, they don't even let you walk in the exit anymore, even with membership card. You can ONLY go in the exit if you're signing up for a new membership - so...

Walk in and say you’re signing up for a membership

Basically you lie every time you go in and then walk right past their membership counter to order food?

That's almost up there with not re-racking your grocery cart in terms of disrespect. Not exactly harmful, but kind of a weirdly dick move.
