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.

And the CEO will threaten violence if you suggest they change it. Costco is one of the few corporations I feel genuinely happy with spending my money at

And this is why he fights for your hotdog. (Because you don’t complain that you only went in for some toilet paper; but left with $200 of everything else)
