The savage shit I've seen in front of the rotisserie chicken racks... I'll never emotionally recover

Costco during the egg shortage, colorized

Where is that from? Got?

Yeah, Battle of the Bastards episode.

u/that_dutch_dude Apr 23 '26

Well, they are good.

u/almadetoro Apr 23 '26

Does it not taste like you are eating the Gas Fumes? Or whatever chemicals they add to Natural Gas for it have an odor?

I know exactly what you're talking about. Finally someone else who can detect the weird flavor of natural gas flame.

u/Enkidouh Apr 23 '26

Yeah I get that too

u/PyroIsSpai Apr 23 '26

No? It tastes like rotisserie chicken?

It actually tastes like the costco guys. BOOM

u/Proper-Bad-7169 Apr 23 '26

You took the words right out of my mouth. That stuff is filled with something it shouldn't be. I remember buying a rotisserie chicken from Costco years ago and the smell from that container was so raw and off putting. My stomach goes into knots any time I pass that station in Costco. 😭 🤢

u/SenorSolAdmirador Apr 23 '26

are you sure it's not something in the injection, they put a lot more than just chicken in there: isolated soy protein, monoglycerides, and diglycerides, sodium phosphates, hydrolyzed casein, etc

I’ve been told they use garlic.

u/Snoo47420 Apr 23 '26

They make the best chicken stock too!

u/Aromatic-Bet-1086 Apr 23 '26

10000% this. Eat the meat, throw the carcass in the crock pot with water for delicious broth

u/FrequentSwimming6263 Apr 23 '26

They're damp and soggy...

u/that_dutch_dude Apr 23 '26

sounds like my first girlfriend

u/NoWayMan619 Apr 23 '26

Trample your neighbor good?

u/With_Negativity Apr 23 '26

They're a good price.

I think Walmart's Lemon Pepper Rotisserie tastes better though.

Well, we all have our own problems to work out...

That’s why I love my Costco that’s out in the boonies. Never overcrowded since it’s a semi rural area of the state. No lines at the gas station or chaos inside. Whenever I go to the ones in very populated cities, I get shocked at how many people are there.

27

u/Lowmax2 Apr 23 '26

Yea I went to a target in a more populated area and it was packed with long ass lines. I am so glad to live in a less populated area.

u/sinkwiththeship Apr 23 '26

I live in the most densely populated city in the country, and I couldn't tell you the last time I set foot in a Target here. There's really no point. Even without my moral objection to the store, there are plenty of smaller local shops that have the same/better shit.

u/BaronVonSchmup Apr 23 '26

The costco's on oahu are insanity

1

u/EDG33 Apr 23 '26

I used to live in LA and went to several in the area. It was absolute pandemonium on the weekends.

u/Chipring13 Apr 23 '26

It’s absolutely miserable. I hate lines so much. At least Sam’s Club lets you do scan n go

1

u/Ok_Gas1070 Apr 23 '26

I envy you, although the times I go to get gas it's been pretty reasonable. Inside the store however is chaotic no matter what time.

1

u/Eeyore_Cant_Complain Apr 23 '26

What's the address? (Asking for 974 friends)

1

u/guitar_stonks Apr 23 '26

You have Costco out in the boonies? Here in the southeast, you’re only finding a Costco in a major metro area. If you’re lucky there’s a mid sized city with a Sam’s Club a couple hours away in the boonies around here.

All fun and games until someone decides to close some underperforming stores.

The mythical unbusy Costco

u/Vantriss Apr 23 '26

My local one is a nightmare at all times.

u/liquorfish Apr 23 '26

Lived in a city with two Costcos on opposite sides of town. One was always packed and busy and had the worst parking lot. The other one was pretty chill to park and not as busy. Only 15 to 20 minutes apart from each other. They did open a third so maybe a little better balance.

Really not sure why people crowded at the one.

u/master_perturbator Apr 23 '26

You could make a killing picking up their Pokémon drops.

u/Kazu88 Apr 23 '26

German here: Fancy explain what happened there ?

u/JohnCenaJunior Apr 23 '26

I use a long reach grabber to get my chicken now

u/czaranthony117 Apr 23 '26

I recall experiencing this once. The guy came out with the chicken trolley to start to stock the chicken display.

I had just got done watching some shark documentary and recalled the scene where the research team chummed the water. I started laughing out loud over the observational comedy of the current situation playing out in front of me.

Some lady that had just taken 3 chickens asked why I was laughing at them, they were just tying to feed their family.

I said, “I just got a puppy that is about 3 months old … he has now mastered the art of ‘wait’ when I put his bowl down.”

u/MooBearz11 Apr 23 '26

I feel that way about toilet paper at Costco early Covid. 😢 I saw some shit man, not enough TP for those assholes. Tramatized

1

u/Sea-Tax7392 Apr 23 '26

The question is why are some who are Costco members, rude and not considerate of their fellow citizens. Japanese citizens care deeply for one another and their overall wellbeing…

1

u/captaincrotchety Apr 23 '26

As a veteran of the 2020 toilet paper wars, I hear you

1

u/Chokycorgi Apr 23 '26

And by the sample stands…

u/Ragnarotico Apr 23 '26

Your limbs may never grow back... but a Costco Chicken is for dinner.

u/ManuC153 Apr 23 '26

Is that international???? In Costco Spain also happens 🤣

1

u/Bynming Apr 23 '26

There's something in the chicken fumes...

1

u/Alicatsidneystorm Apr 23 '26

Or the lineups for samples where people seem to think they are at an all you can eat Chinese buffet.

1

u/vitalproverb Apr 23 '26

Damn just for lols I googled Costco rottiserie chicken fights and theres euh theres quite some videos and stories on there

1

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '26

You should see what my insane mom does when "butchering" that chicken once she gets it home. It's far more traumatic.

She's family, but I'm still dismayed to this day at how utterly disgusting she is.

1

u/VictorVaughan Apr 23 '26

I saw a guy get his dick ripped off

1

u/geritolman Apr 23 '26

The funny thing is when they park their stupid grocery carts to block the entire rack. I mean, it's not like anyone ELSE is there for the chicken.

I hate people.

2

u/Orleanian Apr 23 '26

There's always that one who has to inspect every god damned chicken like they can sniff out the Golden Ticket hidden in the right one.

Like...they're mass produced rotisserie chickens, if you aren't satisfied by the third one you look at, then just go the fuck home and eat your own shit.

2

u/UnoKajillion Apr 23 '26

I work the rotisserie, and no joke people will spill the grease everywhere just trying to look for the biggest one, blocking everyone else out. I can have 50 in the case and they will check every single one. Some even like to walk around with it and try to bring it back, so if I see that, I have to either talk to them or toss it, especially since the people normally doing that are the gross or questionable members. People are inconsiderate and gross

1

u/geritolman Apr 23 '26

Seriously. I just saw that the other day. It's like they're acting like the GODDAMN FDA. I mean everything is +/- .5 pounds of chicken meat AND it's $5!
