I was reading this article about people bitching that Costco changed the packaging for their rotisserie chicken.
www.foxbusiness.com

Customers upset after Costco makes change to rotisserie chicken

Some customers are upset after Costco changed the packaging of its rotisserie chicken from a rigid plastic clamshell to a plastic bag. The new packaging is inferior, they say.
www.foxbusiness.com www.foxbusiness.com

It contained the fact that Costco sold 137 MILLION CHICKENS IN 2023!!

That's 365 million in sales of $5 chickens in one year. That's 375,000 chickens a day.

Anyway, carry on. That is all.
 
Haven't been in a COSTCO in years, I don't remember ever buying roast chicken from them, I prefer mine fried

Albertsons does a fried chicken dinner with biscuits and two sides. I think Stater Brothers does also, both used to be $5 but that was years ago, and if I remember both were damn good for a single guy.

before we had per deim, we would turn in receipts and get reimbursed on meal we bought, no limit. We killed them getting waitresses write us bogus tickets.
 
My wife buys one almost every time we go there. I saw they changed to the bags. I liked it better in the clamshell because you just pick what you want and close the top.
Yes that’s a huge number of chickens. Did the article also say how much they lose selling the chickens? It’s something to get people into the store and that’s why it’s always at the back of the store.

Chickens and hotdogs are the " signature items" it gets you in the door to buy high margin items.

It's better than that. They sell them at a loss. I don't remember what it is, but it seems like they lose $2 on each chicken iirc.

You have to buy a membership to get a chicken, and your in the door and will make up that $2 over and over,

My brother was a buyer back when they were Price club, vendors would kill to get product on the shelves we lived like kings on food items he would bring home,
 
Wait until you find out how many pumpkin pies they bake and sell in the week of thanksgiving
