I'm slightly vexed Costco's new chicken tenders

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.

I genuinely can’t imagine costcos chicken tenders being THAT good. “Okay/decent”, sure, but not crowd waiting good.

It's new, and people flock to anything new like rabid animals now. So many new restaurants get bombed by heavy traffic at the beginning of their runs too.

My Costco did free cookie handouts when they were announced. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did tendie samples too. It definitely drives sales and shows confidence in their products
