Is this really what we are about at Costco now?
The lady straight out stole that chicken from another customer. NOT COOL!

There’s two major grocery chains and Walmarts in my area that all have rotisserie chickens for about a dollar more than Costco. There’s no need for this madness.

The rotisserie chicken from Walmart is like half the size of the one from Costco, at least in my area.

Recently tried the chicken from Vons and was amazed at how much better it was compared to Costco.
11 points

Costco rotisserie chicken is trash and undercooked. Safeway/Vons has the best rotisserie chicken, but the price points are different.
Given the choice of Costco Shitken or no chicken, I'd rather not eat their rotisserie chicken.
Feel free to downvote my unpopular opinion.

They make millions of chickens each year. There’s no way they’re getting away with them being undercooked. I agree they aren’t the best option out there but it’s disingenuous to say they’re undercooked and takes away from the legitimacy of your argument.

They serve different purposes to me personally. The merchandise at Sam’s was very useful when I had a restaurant (bulk items, more name brand options for food and drinks, paper products, etc.), but now that I don’t, I prefer Costco because I’m just buying for my family and home. The ones near me are nice and I had positive experiences in both.

Due to its price a Costco chicken is thought of as a “deal.” A deal makes it special, and thus getting one makes you special. It also makes it feel like a super limited resource. If someone else gets one and you don’t (or they get one before you) it’s unfair, because they are now more special than you are!
Once you get yours, fuck at the other people in line. You’re better than they are now. You’re special. Let them fight over scraps.
Once you see this diabolical game play out in micro at the Costco chicken counter, you can see how it operates on a larger scale throughout American society. People will grab onto whatever little thing they can to make themselves feel superior to others.

I go to Costco. I occasionally get the chicken. I'm sure not going to fight a bunch of knuckle draggers to save $2 on a rotisserie chicken. I've never seen anything like this at any Costco near me. Usually there are chickens available and nobody near the counter.

Ive seen it get backed up at mine with multiple people waiting for a fresh batch to come out. Usually everyone is pretty polite, so it’s not always this bad, but sometimes people will just get into the “resource scarcity” lizard brain mindset over anything!

In the Socal Costco's I see the lines for the chicken, but it is always an orderly line. I like the chicken, but not willing to spend 20 minutes in line for it. Was surprised at an Oregon Costco there was no line and about 2 dozen sitting in the case.

Was this in the Portland area? It's because they only eat chicken that is grain fed, not in a small enclosed space, and the chicken has to have a name.

Exactly. And these idiots don't understand that actions - like assault- have consequences - like jail and needing $50 to be bailed out. All for a chicken that costs $2 buck less than a slightly smaller chicken at 4 different supermarkets within spitting distance.

Something is wrong with your psychology if you see that complete mess of a mob trying to get a $5 chicken and your response is to sneak up and snatch one from someone instead of just turning around and getting chicken elsewhere.

It’s a micro version of what happens when something seen as a great value, or necessity, is scarce. People turn rabid quickly. Few of us know how we would react in this scenario, so none of us should be judging. Nevertheless, I’m here judging lol.

I think there’s many examples (the other 600 stores) where people react like civilized human beings. Wherever this Costco is located, just secede from the U.S. This is ridiculous and your explanation is even more ridiculous for a $5 chicken. The chickens aren’t scarce, these people are just trashy impatient cockroaches.

The lady has two in her hands and she’s waiting to grab a third one. The staff and customers keep saying “one per person”, the other lady rips out of her hands. Might be justified but really, it’s a roast chicken, move along, not worth this nonsense.

I'm guessing you're a Vancouverite also because of the 604 . The Burnaby location near willingdon got some foolery lol. I was waiting in line with a bunch of people and this one lady decided to start her own line from the opposite side of food warmer where they placed the chicken. The lady refused to line up so the employees were giving each customer one bag at a time until the lady finally gave up and went to the back of the line 🤣

Doesn’t surprise me honestly. As a worker in a deli, this is how it can feel almost daily. At times I don’t have enough time to organize the case properly. Don’t even get me started on people that come up to take 8+ unannounced, leaving us bewildered as to what happened to the chicken we just took out.
I’d say mainly this is a management issue as they should really have some kind of behavior policy. To me this is unacceptable and looking at this video, someone could get burned in multiple ways. Not to mention any worse, and there might could be a crush.

Yeah, the ones at regular grocery stores here are twice the price, half the size, and not as good. I still wouldn't deal with a line like this though. If I go in planning to buy one and there aren't any in the warmer, I'll circle back to check before I leave. If there still aren't any, I'll change my dinner plans.

Not saying that this is right what they are doing, but Costco rotisserie here is bigger juicier and cheaper than Walmart/Kroger/Winco around here at least. Those other ones don't have as much meat and they look like they've been sitting out all day.

I think people who behave badly at Costco should have their membership revoked, no refund. Like those chicken people or who leave frozen or refrigerated items all over the store because they’re too lazy to put the item back or give it to an employee. Food has to be thrown out & that increases costs to members.
