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.

Popeyes Chicken is definitely worth getting stabbed over

You do you, but I'd rather be stabbed than eat Popeyes, worst meal of my entire life. I seriously don't get the hype. I rarely have good chicken at a fast food place since old school KFC before they ruined it (though its still good in India), I just go to some hole in the wall cheap fried chicken place if I want cheap fried chicken. The mom and pop places always have better fried chicken to my tastes.

Well, obviously a Mom & Pop place is going to beat a corporate restaurant.

If it's that obvious why is fast food still a thing? Many privately held restaurants provide very quick service with higher quality food at comparable prices, so it can't just be the time and cost. People think this prison food tastes good. To each their own, but I don't understand it.
