L-l-look at you bar-bartender, a-a pa-pathetic creature of meat and bone, un-underestimating my l-l-liver's ability to metab-meTABolize t-toxins. How can you p-poison a perfect, immortal alcohOLIC?

Wait, what’s this about bagged rotisserie chicken? I haven’t seen this at my Costco yet.

They're asking you to bag it up before you get into the rotisserie chicken now.

nah its happening in seattle already too. Like the shoreline WA location is bagged as of the last time i was there.

Its less plastic used overall so technically somewhat more environmentally friendly. I guess baby steps in the whole grand scheme of eating tens of millions of factory farmed chickens and all that.

The bags are better for plunging your head into and ripping the chicken apart with your teeth like that one goon says he does

You gotta stab the chicken with the pointy end of the straw and it makes a mess, but at least it's easier to shake up

My local Costco (in SoCal) just made the transition from the containers to the bags last week, so it really is just a case of them using up their existing stock of containers first.

I haven’t been to the ‘co in a couple weeks because I’ve been sick, and I’ve heard there’s going to be cookies and cream Yasso bars on sale soon. Considering how much I like their mint chocolate chip bars I am extremely down for this, cookies and cream is one of my favorite flavors. Also the Incan corn, I love that poo poo at TJs. Looking forward to seeing what’s up once I finally shake this weird non-covid bug.

Wait what do they give you? All I can imagine is hard clam shells that leak. Every local grocery chain I go to has had (razor sharp) hardish plastic bags for years in SoCal, every kind of grocery chicken get thrown in those from tenders to rotisserie

It's all I've ever seen in my entire life. Everywhere.

Posters in this thread have complained about the leaking.

hmm, now that I think of it, I may have only ever gotten one rotisserie chicken in my life. Maybe 15 years ago.

I live in San Diego, and every local grocery store except for Costco switched to plastic bags for their roast chickens years ago.

it's the same great bird at the same low low price. the bag changed nothing about it other than making it easier to carry and less likely to spill on the way home. another home run from costco delivered directly to club members

Get a rotiss’. Eat some chicken as a couple meals. Strip the remaining meat and make enchiladas for a couple meals. Makes the bones into stock and make Tom kha gai as a couple meals.

Shell-on chicken provides a convenient holder for chicken bones when I shred (and eat half of) the chicken like some sort of poultry goblin.

Went to my local Costco the other day and they're using those rotisserie chicken bags now. Around a quarter of them had popped open on the shelf, so if you're worried about spills you might want to consider putting them in a meat department bag or something.

It's a much bigger difference than that. You're selling 10 or 20 chickens for each wings clamshell.

Kirkland brand golf clubs??

Isn't there a weird story behind the Kirkland golf clubs? Like the golf industry tried to conspire to blacklist anyone selling to Costco or something.

Lamenting that my Kirkland booze selection rotates and never seems to get anything back after its first order. I missed the XO Honduran rum and 17 year Speyside. I saw the lowland scotch there and decided to jump on it.

I really wish they’d get that Kirkland Islay because a rusty nail with Laphraoig is just too pricey to run all the time.

There was a brand that was pissy with Costco for selling their club for cheaper than they wanted them to

The PGA Champion in 1997 exclusively used Kirkland clubs but Kirkland refused to pay the PGA advertising fees so they only showed him from far away during televised events and then 3 months after he won he was “mugged” which resulted in him being shot 13 times and his wallet was found on the ground next to his body and there wasn’t a single thing in it except a Costco membership card.
