Only in the U.S. would employees get fired if they took something home to be eaten instead of putting it in the trash as directed by the company.. Food waste is real.
Some employees will put the chicken aside so it cannot be sold so they can take it home. I am not sure why or how much is actually thrown out. Costco will make chicken salad, soup, sandwiches,wraps, or even sell them as a cold alternative. If they reheated the chicken the next day, it will become overcooked and not taste well.
1. All waste is written off by the company or business as a percentage loss 2. Once it is in the trash it is the waste company's property No I don't agree with this, I live in Australia but same thing here you can not give it away, take it or donate it. Government red tape health standards creating more harm than good🤦♂️
Hmm. Where’s your PROOF that this doesn’t happen in any other country in the world? 😂 So we can get free food every night by simply getting a job in someplace like, um…Canada(?) where store/restaurant owners are happily sending everyone home with free dinners every night? 😂😂😂
Here in Europe, there are countries like France that have made excessive food waste illegal. You have to give it to the homeless shelter. That’s what they should do in the United States. If you have access food you should have to give it to the homeless shelter.
Making it a law would solve the problem of stores being afraid of getting sued by someone who claimed it made them sick. The stores can finaly say it isn't their fault, the law requires them to give away expired food.
America has more lawyers, attorneys, hacks, shysters, and mouth-pieces than the REST OF THE WORLD COMBINED. And, THAT is why you can't give shit away. You'll get sued. Guaranteed.
why should the homeless get dirty leftovers nobody else wants Friends of our family own a really nice restaurant and twice monthly the homeless and very low income can come in and get a 100 dollar meal for 10 bucks or whatever they can afford. You wouldnt believe the amount of well to do who tries to get in on those two nights. SHAME ON YOU!
the animation and lip sync is done really well! Where i came from they did cooked chicken in a hot food section, the leftovers at the end of the day was sold for 50% off
I purchase Costco Rotisserie chicken because I could not purchase a fresh chicken, season it and cook it for the same price. I am a cancer patient and my blood tests show I have low sodium so I do not care about the sodium content. I enjoy the flavour of Costco and SAMS Club chicken so I will continue to purchase them. When I purchase a pre-cooked chicken I have my oven on and make sure the chicken is heated to a food-safe temperature.
I always ALWAYS always microwave my Costco chicken to be sure that it is fully cooked! There have been times when the red blood was visible and the meat unfinished. Otherwise, I love it! I live by myself and can get as many as six meals out of one chicken!
A wise practice. However, any red / pink liquid in meat is NOT blood. Animals are drained of blood at slaughter, if there was actually blood in the meat from improper draining it would turn gummy, chewy and the meat would turn partially black when cooked. That red / pink liquid in any meat is just pigment that seeped from the bone into the meat, but there is no actual blood in that liquid (again, you'd KNOW if there was blood, it would be quite unpleasant once cooked).
its crap chicken....we only buy the free range capons (about 6 pounders) from our butcher. It costs more but what a great meal and great hot chicken sandwitches after that too! The soup broth from boiling the bones is better too from free range.
They don't have to throw away the unsold chicken, you can make other things with it like a chicken soup/sauce, Brazilian "coxinhas", chicken sandwich, etc.
stop and shop sells them in bags, the chicken that doesn't sell that day are sold on the cold shelf for a day then it's turned into chicken salad and back onto the cold shelf
1:39 it’s only several chickens wasted after a shift, what’s the big deal? That’s very little waste for Costco, like literally nothing, an error at the last digit in the budget. The scale of waste only several chicken after a day of roasting chicken, this is nothing.
@@dentalnovember you need to consider the scale and size of Costco. They make thousands of rotisserie chickens a day, only several wasted, it’s just very little. Someone can easily waste a lot more in term of percentage. The quality of the chicken is a more worrying problem to me than the 1 or 2 % waste.
You know big chain supermarkets wanted to do this, problem is lawsuits, so they have to throw away food that can be eaten rather than face a crooked lawyer trying to make a fast buck, really sad actually.
"Stores use cheap rotisserie chicken as a ploy to make you spend more money" The stores aren't making anyone spend money. Are they trying to attract people into the store, where they may shop for other food? Sure. But i have gone into Market Basket plenty of times just to buy a rotisserie chicken. Also, the video complains about rotisserie chickens being thrown out at the end of the day, then complains that some stores may "recycle" the unsold rotisserie chicken into something else.
A nearby supermarket used to mark down the few (they were smart & didn't have a lot) rotisserie chickens 50% when the deli department closed for the night. I was one of several shoppers who regularly came into the store arrived beforehand & just waited; there was never anything left. Then they got savvier & used the leftovers to make/sell chicken salad in the morning. Another smart alternative for supermarkets is to toss them into the freezer, then donate to one of their regular food pantry pick-ups (as a food pantry volunteer, I know that virtually all supermarkets do this daily). Food-insecure people get this great product & supermarkets get the tax write-offs. Sadly, I'm sure that some are still thrown away, but not as much as the story indicates.
I have a Costco membership, so I do buy the chickens every so often...but I've never gotten one that has been thoroughly cooked. They were always running blood at the thigh and wing joints, so I've always had to pop them in the oven and finish cooking them. I'm not so fond of chicken that I'm gonna buy a raw one to roast, but the ones from Costco are fine, once they're thoroughly cooked, to add to canned soup or my dog's dinners.
I've bought Costco, Sams Club and BJ's Wholesale Club rotisserie chicken. BJ's had the best consistently each time and had the least offensive ingredients though the flavor is not as good as Costco or Sam's Club.
What hurts the most is most of those chickens were really good people. I knew some of them chickens. Some had eggs in college. Some were just ready to marry and start their new life adventure together. Buy a house. Maybe a car... okay, maybe not a car, but a bicycle for sure. It is tragic. Just.....just tragic. I gotta stop. I am tearing up. This hurts. This hurts so frigging much.
Most hot held food is required to be discarded after 4 hours, due to pathogen growth concerns. This is a safeguard for public health. Stores follow this to avoid litigation. If you want to save the unsold chickens, you need to have the health department grant a variance to donate them. A waiver should also be signed, saying the store is not responsible for health issues due to consumption of the donated chicken.
Costco near me, will pull breast meat and sell in plastic bags. Smart. Oh, yes, cooking the chicken will reduce fat and moisture. These are what makes you think the uncooked chicken is a better deal.
It’s simple. The reason stores/restaurants typically don’t let employees take “extra” food home at the end of the night rather than discard it is because they know the employees will prepare too much food because they now know they’ll be able to take home the “extra” food, costing the store money in free to-go meals at the end of the day. Knowing they can’t take it home reduces the instances of preparing extra food that will go to waste. It’s far from perfect, but it is what it is.
its acutally a mixutre of both , use to work in that section ... employee can take the chicken home if they pay for it ... that just the bottom line ... ive bought at the end of shift chicken because ive work at preparing it and cooking it. Also we try to match the deman to the supply to get it down as low as we can ... but we do turn it into something like cutting it into portion for the cold storage section and letting people on food stamp to take it home ... sometime we can recover cost since its at cost by that point ... but yeah we dont typically take leftover home just cuz its old and nasty by that point anyway. Also its a health concern too .
@Gaypooplay No. I’m speaking about any and all food prepared in stores/restaurants, not just roasted chickens. No manager is standing over the cooks when they’re preparing/cooking the same foods in large amounts all day. I worked in a restaurant so I know what I’m talking about. It makes perfect sense.
@Gaypooplay Lol. Oh please. You need more life experience before posting. So when the OWNER of a popular and busy restaurant that’s known for several types of fried chicken (nuggets, fingers, wings, etc), where the food is cooked in big batches and that has customers coming in right up to closing time, explains to me that there is always some amount of leftover food, because no one can predict EXACTLY how much food they’ll need, that their policy is to throw it away because if they didn’t and gave it to the employees, the cooks and other employees would get used to it and would likely cook more than necessary, because they would know they’re getting a bunch of highly desirable free food at the end of the.night. Managers get busy near closing time and aren’t standing over cooks, counting every item of food being cooked. 🤣🤣🤣 Makes perfect sense. People ALWAYS take advantage of a situation. ALWAYS.
@@MelancoliaI not really. There’s really not that much more of a chance of a lawsuit from a tiny number of employees that CHOOSE to take free unsold fold at the end of the day versus the way larger number of actual customers that are buying the food all throughout the day.
Dirt cheap when you consider everything that went into prep. If you did that at home and cooked in gas or electric oven, the time and energy spent on that adds up quickly.
Must be an American thing.. here in Canada the cooked rotisserie's are considerably more expensive per 100 grams than a whole raw chicken, even taking into account a 20% to 30% loss in weight when cooking.
Ugh, don't get me started. I have to put out so much chicken. We are so under staffed, we have to toss out so much because we don't have time to process it properly. I'm talking 25+ a day. And we are a very small store. If we are 1 minute late on a 2 hour mark on cooling 2ed chance chicken we have to toss out all 25 chickens. It is repulsive.
What does high/scalping prices on food bring? It brings expired foods and lower quality foods, due to the fact that quantity does not move. So not only you pay more for that prime rib, but you are also risking getting spoiled food. The current prices are not high due to economy, they are high because someone has planned it that way, it is a campaign of controlled demolition of standards of living for the common man in order to bring forth an agenda that ultimately results in poverty, hardship and total control for everyone not in the club. They do not care about profits, money can be printed and they are. That is why most of the scalping is done at a loss to the corporations(unsold time sensitive foods/goods) in order to achieve a goal. This also screws the farmers and food producers. It is mind blowing what is going on. At some point people will need to follow certain guidelines and medical procedures in order to receive access to foods, goods and services, if the current path is maintained.
Walfarts have changed their. More Watery after Cooked, Half the Size and only One Flavor instead of 2 or 3.. Price has also gone up $2.. They would also Cook that instead of Fried Chicken, that they don't even Start until 1pm IF you remind them, whereas the Piggly Starts their Fried and Rotisserie when they Open in the Morning and Tastes Better and $1 less. Walfarts Chicken is also Half Cold and Half Hot.. Some so cold, it feels like it just came out of the Fridge. Or It's Hot on the Outside but Inside is Still Cold...
Meijer in 2012 dumped the old rotisserie chickens in the trash, but put the leftover fried chicken in the cold case. In 2013 they decided to turn the old rotisserie into chicken salad, but stopped putting out the cold chicken because it might hurt sales of hot chicken the next day. So into the trash it went.
The suffering of chickens destined to be rotisseried is no different than the suffering of almost ALL chickens destined to be food. As for weight of rotisseried chickens vs raw chickens sold elsewhere in the store, rotisseried chickens do have the approximate, average weight of the chickens on the package (it's not like stores are trying to hide how much they weigh), and raw chickens sold elsewhere in the store will weigh less than the sticker weight after cooking due to loss of water and fat during the cooking process.
the local markets where i live do a great job at going green on rotisserie chickens by cooking them early in day and leaving them sit in the bins until store close, the long since dried out and unappealing. this is 100% the wrong way to do it stores should strive to cook a little more than needed to meet expected demand and cook more often in smaller batches, it might be less efficient but it keeps waste down and fresher product for customers
Oh…good grief! Don’t mention loss leaders in retail at this point in time like it’s a new concept. Loss leaders have been used probably as long as retail has been around. Any featured item in a grocery store could be considered a loss leader.
My Smart and Finally puts the day before unsold chicken in the fridge for half price. I buy all, chop them up and freeze them. I am surprised Costco doesn't deli it for their pizza or cold sandwiches.
I prefer rotisserie chickens from Sam's Club even though I know they could be using the same supplier as their neighbor (Costco). I don' consume them very often and when I do, I usually use it (sans skin) in another recipe. I have seen the chickens re-purposed in other ready-to-go items that are for sale they make in house and I'm fine with that. I've never seen any chickens tossed out at the end of the day, but I would offer that they donate what's unsold to the local shelters instead. As for what goes in it, everything in moderation. This is a mode of convenience and we pay for that convenience. I could roast my own chicken, sure. Do I have the time or the experience to do so? I would bet not a lot do.
Are YOU taking your scrapes to the homeless shelter? No? So, YOU are wasting food too? Then, please, for the children, think of the children, and STFU. It's your turn to roll. D&D awaits.
It is cute that some “ACTIVIST” wants me to NOT eat this product because of chemicals and or handling that “THEY” find objectionable! I can only assume that this individual is probably a vegan? So, NOW I have to go out and buy a Sam’s Club Rotisserie chicken for Sunday dinner!
They only consume water that has been boiled, nothing with a face, raw bark, berries, and tender leaves. They consume no chemicals at all. Ever. Except in all that pot they're smoking, and the energy drinks (holy shit), etc. They are ignorant maroons, who don't really care about chemicals. They care about telling YOU what to do, because they are: smarter, better, more educated, more sophisticated, worldly and wise than you are. It's true. Ask them.
I give zero credence to Reddit users. More often than not, they toss out “opinions” and “reviews” under the protection of Internet anonymity. Their opinions mean nothing.
Don't believe anyone selling this type of chicken is losing money, that size and weight of chickens and the huge amounts they buy is like 99 cents a pound.
Oh no. Really? One day, hopefully, the technology will be in place that allows us to travel extreme distances like that. Maybe even within a 48 hour period. That is dreaming, I know. But, I have to dream. I have to.
I have known folks that have raised birds for a certain company. They say it is a relentless job. Constant, nonstop, that the money is not worth the toll it takes on their lives. That once they start it’s almost impossible to break free because of the incredibly low profit margins
The last two rotisserries I got last month did hit me as extra salty. Needing to watch my blood pressure, I'm going to stop getting them. And no please don't try to convince me that eating too much salt all the time every meal every day has no effect on blood pressure.
Mean while Costco just had a new cookie added to their food court. That's 750 calories.... i had it other day omg is so warm and taste good thing I don't live near Costco. But am pretty sure 50 % of us know these food aren't healthy and treat it like a cheap day.
You want to hold grocery stores responsible for all the deficiencies of the poultry industry? Why pick on rotisserie chicken, you may as well pick on all deli meats, Lunchables, just about anything in the frozen food section...including all the shitty processed foods like fake meats, vegetable oils, all bread products made with dozens of ingredients...you get the idea. There would be hardly anything left in the store.
I kept finding myself saying "no duh" Loss leader ... no duh Reselling nearly expired fresh chicken . No duh Unsold rotissarue chicen in chicken salad. No duh
Sorry but you didn't talk me out of Costco's rotisserie chicken, it's damn good. As far as sodium phosphate goes, they use a concentrated form to clean you out before a colonoscopy, so if you don't get diarrhea after chowing down some chicken, you're probably in the safe zone.
I got 2 cases of Pilgrim's Pride brand rotisserie chickens. $ 15.00. One case was 54 pounds, 12 birds. Other one was 60 pounds, had 10 chickens in it. 33 cents a pound, for 6 pound chickens. Canning the big ones, a pair of breasts, almost filled a quart canning jar completely. steve
Most of these points are meaningless... all foods come in excess packaging except fresh produce. High fat is good. It's carbs that will kill you. Sodium - whatever. Everything has sodium, and if you exercise a lot, you need it. It's not my problem or fault what they do with the unsold chickens - I do my part by purchasing a chicken so get out of my face.
When you live in the United States and 75% of food is junk eating a chicken is that bad. I guess would could grow our own veggies and eat nothing but what we grow organically. I think we would die faster if we did.
If I didn't prep & cook it.…. I would not eat it….also the quality of those chickens is very questionable, to say the least…. You know the saying… “When something is too good to be true”…, well you know the rest… lol 🤣
I LOVE rotisserie chicken. I take it home into a room where I can be alone because I like to eat it with my hands. I slather it in ranch and hot sauce and get down. Nobody is allowed to disturb me. Those fool enough to try are treated to a whirlwind of terrible table manners, lip smacking and the sight of my face covered in sauce and grease. Also, I don't share. When the chicken is picked clean, I wash up and return to the civilized world.
There are air fryer rotisserie chicken recipes that are just as good online, and you know what ingredients are in the seasoning. Beware of MSG, artificial flavorings, 460 gm sodium per 3 oz., other ingredients they wont list in all rotisserie chickens sold anywhere. If you feel bad after eating grocery rotisserie chicken, thats often why.
What do you weigh? Do you eat the whole chicken? Do you have sides when you eat the entire chicken? 'Taters, biscuits, dressing, cracklin' cornbread, raisin gravy? Yams, jams, hams? Just curious.
Keep the Loss leaders coming, affordable food is how I'm able to keep stocking up. Rotisserie chicken turns into jars of canned chicken and broth. Not just fresh eating.

Only in the U.S. would employees get fired if they took something home to be eaten instead of putting it in the trash as directed by the company.. Food waste is real.
That’s because employees will cook way too much on purpose just to get something for free. People always go too far and ruin it for everyone.
Some employees will put the chicken aside so it cannot be sold so they can take it home. I am not sure why or how much is actually thrown out.

@@MelancoliaI not really. There’s really not that much more of a chance of a lawsuit from a tiny number of employees that CHOOSE to take free unsold fold at the end of the day versus the way larger number of actual customers that are buying the food all throughout the day.
When a cooked chicken is about 10.00 in Publix and in Winn Dixie about 9.00 that is not cheap
I dunno that seems cheap when compared against a restaurant or fast food.
Biden-nomics.
Dirt cheap when you consider everything that went into prep. If you did that at home and cooked in gas or electric oven, the time and energy spent on that adds up quickly.
Must be an American thing.. here in Canada the cooked rotisserie's are considerably more expensive per 100 grams than a whole raw chicken, even taking into account a 20% to 30% loss in weight when cooking.
Ugh, don't get me started. I have to put out so much chicken. We are so under staffed, we have to toss out so much because we don't have time to process it properly. I'm talking 25+ a day. And we are a very small store. If we are 1 minute late on a 2 hour mark on cooling 2ed chance chicken we have to toss out all 25 chickens. It is repulsive.
What does high/scalping prices on food bring? It brings expired foods and lower quality foods, due to the fact that quantity does not move. So not only you pay more for that prime rib, but you are also risking getting spoiled food. The current prices are not high due to economy, they are high because someone has planned it that way, it is a campaign of controlled demolition of standards of living for the common man in order to bring forth an agenda that ultimately results in poverty, hardship and total control for everyone not in the club. They do not care about profits, money can be printed and they are. That is why most of the scalping is done at a loss to the corporations(unsold time sensitive foods/goods) in order to achieve a goal. This also screws the farmers and food producers. It is mind blowing what is going on. At some point people will need to follow certain guidelines and medical procedures in order to receive access to foods, goods and services, if the current path is maintained.
Lmao. What poppycock.
Walfarts have changed their. More Watery after Cooked, Half the Size and only One Flavor instead of 2 or 3.. Price has also gone up $2.. They would also Cook that instead of Fried Chicken, that they don't even Start until 1pm IF you remind them, whereas the Piggly Starts their Fried and Rotisserie when they Open in the Morning and Tastes Better and $1 less. Walfarts Chicken is also Half Cold and Half Hot.. Some so cold, it feels like it just came out of the Fridge. Or It's Hot on the Outside but Inside is Still Cold...
Meijer in 2012 dumped the old rotisserie chickens in the trash, but put the leftover fried chicken in the cold case. In 2013 they decided to turn the old rotisserie into chicken salad, but stopped putting out the cold chicken because it might hurt sales of hot chicken the next day. So into the trash it went.
The suffering of chickens destined to be rotisseried is no different than the suffering of almost ALL chickens destined to be food. As for weight of rotisseried chickens vs raw chickens sold elsewhere in the store, rotisseried chickens do have the approximate, average weight of the chickens on the package (it's not like stores are trying to hide how much they weigh), and raw chickens sold elsewhere in the store will weigh less than the sticker weight after cooking due to loss of water and fat during the cooking process.
the local markets where i live do a great job at going green on rotisserie chickens by cooking them early in day and leaving them sit in the bins until store close, the long since dried out and unappealing. this is 100% the wrong way to do it
stores should strive to cook a little more than needed to meet expected demand and cook more often in smaller batches, it might be less efficient but it keeps waste down and fresher product for customers
The Costco that I worked at used the leftover rotisserie chicken to make the deli chicken salad the next day.
Oh…good grief! Don’t mention loss leaders in retail at this point in time like it’s a new concept. Loss leaders have been used probably as long as retail has been around. Any featured item in a grocery store could be considered a loss leader.
Yah, this ploy is only several thousands years old. It took these fules that long to realize it. Now it is a calamity. What maroons.
Correction, they make just little money on chucken to get a lot of money on other product, they don't lose no money
My Smart and Finally puts the day before unsold chicken in the fridge for half price. I buy all, chop them up and freeze them. I am surprised Costco doesn't deli it for their pizza or cold sandwiches.
Costco should leave left over rotisserie chicken in an area in the store for employees to take home if they wish.
I prefer rotisserie chickens from Sam's Club even though I know they could be using the same supplier as their neighbor (Costco). I don' consume them very often and when I do, I usually use it (sans skin) in another recipe. I have seen the chickens re-purposed in other ready-to-go items that are for sale they make in house and I'm fine with that. I've never seen any chickens tossed out at the end of the day, but I would offer that they donate what's unsold to the local shelters instead. As for what goes in it, everything in moderation. This is a mode of convenience and we pay for that convenience. I could roast my own chicken, sure. Do I have the time or the experience to do so? I would bet not a lot do.
People go hungry and they toss out chicken
Are YOU taking your scrapes to the homeless shelter? No? So, YOU are wasting food too? Then, please, for the children, think of the children, and STFU. It's your turn to roll. D&D awaits.
Just a few dollars? Try $13 in Australia
Yeah, but YOUR government is more to the left than ours. For NOW.
The store down the street from me in California sells rotisserie chickens for $18.00 each.
Where in California are you? I'm about 45 mins away from SF and never seen prices like that lol
@@evolancer211exactly.
@@evolancer211Keep voting democrat and the chicken will be 20.00 or more.✌️
It is cute that some “ACTIVIST” wants me to NOT eat this product because of chemicals and or handling that “THEY” find objectionable! I can only assume that this individual is probably a vegan?
So, NOW I have to go out and buy a Sam’s Club Rotisserie chicken for Sunday dinner!
They only consume water that has been boiled, nothing with a face, raw bark, berries, and tender leaves. They consume no chemicals at all. Ever. Except in all that pot they're smoking, and the energy drinks (holy shit), etc. They are ignorant maroons, who don't really care about chemicals. They care about telling YOU what to do, because they are: smarter, better, more educated, more sophisticated, worldly and wise than you are. It's true. Ask them.
6:31 why do you think that's a bad thing? Salt and animal fat are healthy.
Homeless people are eating that 😂😂😂
Not in the USA where I live. They did for a while until a homeless person took the chicken home, didn't refrigerate it, got sick and sued.
I give zero credence to Reddit users. More often than not, they toss out “opinions” and “reviews” under the protection of Internet anonymity. Their opinions mean nothing.
What? Now you tell me. I've been living my life according to "The Book of Reddit" for the past five years. Hell, I thought it was a cult.
Hello Costco!!!
Don't believe anyone selling this type of chicken is losing money, that size and weight of chickens and the huge amounts they buy is like 99 cents a pound.
There's no Costco within a 20 mile radius of my home. Therefore, I don't shop at Costco.
Oh no. Really? One day, hopefully, the technology will be in place that allows us to travel extreme distances like that. Maybe even within a 48 hour period. That is dreaming, I know. But, I have to dream. I have to.
We buy it at Fred Meyer. No Costco here either
where i live the nearest costco is 50 miles away in fresno
I have known folks that have raised birds for a certain company. They say it is a relentless job. Constant, nonstop, that the money is not worth the toll it takes on their lives. That once they start it’s almost impossible to break free because of the incredibly low profit margins
plastic chemical reaction during hot packing is inevitable
The last two rotisserries I got last month did hit me as extra salty.
Needing to watch my blood pressure, I'm going to stop getting them.
And no please don't try to convince me that eating too much salt all the time every meal every day has no effect on blood pressure.
Maybe cut down the salt in EVERYTHING, there Einstein.
Intermittent fasting.
Mean while Costco just had a new cookie added to their food court. That's 750 calories.... i had it other day omg is so warm and taste good thing I don't live near Costco. But am pretty sure 50 % of us know these food aren't healthy and treat it like a cheap day.
Perfect example of "Gross Generalization"......
10 dollars is not just a few dollars
You want to hold grocery stores responsible for all the deficiencies of the poultry industry? Why pick on rotisserie chicken, you may as well pick on all deli meats, Lunchables, just about anything in the frozen food section...including all the shitty processed foods like fake meats, vegetable oils, all bread products made with dozens of ingredients...you get the idea. There would be hardly anything left in the store.
I kept finding myself saying "no duh"
Loss leader ... no duh
Reselling nearly expired fresh chicken . No duh
Unsold rotissarue chicen in chicken salad. No duh
Sorry but you didn't talk me out of Costco's rotisserie chicken, it's damn good. As far as sodium phosphate goes, they use a concentrated form to clean you out before a colonoscopy, so if you don't get diarrhea after chowing down some chicken, you're probably in the safe zone.
Wal Mart chicken 🍗
Sucks 😂
They look like chickens with anorexia.
I got 2 cases of Pilgrim's Pride brand rotisserie chickens.
$ 15.00. One case was 54 pounds, 12 birds. Other one
was 60 pounds, had 10 chickens in it. 33 cents a pound,
for 6 pound chickens.
Canning the big ones, a pair of breasts, almost filled a
quart canning jar completely.

So expensive here and I swear they’re teeny enough to be Cornish game hens.
Where I live, they are canaries and cost $15,000 each. And they beat you as you leave. Top THAT. I win. I win the "Commenters Whining Award". Hooray.
My chicken is the best 😂😂😂
MINE is the best. Just yesterday he gave me one of his feathers, and now we are betrothed. I feel love like I have never before.
Wish vegas had a wegmans....
Well, you got a lawn. Go graze.
Chickens are $10 at my store... Wegmans They used to be $4.99🤬
You struggled hard to find downsides and most of them were laughable at best.
You eat,you work and you die.what is the confusion ?
Most of these points are meaningless... all foods come in excess packaging except fresh produce. High fat is good. It's carbs that will kill you. Sodium - whatever. Everything has sodium, and if you exercise a lot, you need it. It's not my problem or fault what they do with the unsold chickens - I do my part by purchasing a chicken so get out of my face.
While rotisserie chickens are delcious they are not allergy friendly.
How come she says chi-CAAAN
When you live in the United States and 75% of food is junk eating a chicken is that bad. I guess would could grow our own veggies and eat nothing but what we grow organically. I think we would die faster if we did.
If I didn't prep & cook it.…. I would not eat it….also the quality of those chickens is very questionable, to say the least…. You know the saying…
“When something is too good to be true”…, well you know the rest… lol 🤣
I LOVE rotisserie chicken. I take it home into a room where I can be alone because I like to eat it with my hands. I slather it in ranch and hot sauce and get down. Nobody is allowed to disturb me. Those fool enough to try are treated to a whirlwind of terrible table manners, lip smacking and the sight of my face covered in sauce and grease. Also, I don't share. When the chicken is picked clean, I wash up and return to the civilized world.
Do you have a birthmark, shaped like Hillary's head on your left buttock, near the anal cleft? I have a lost twin and I think he may be you.
😂😂 OMG 😂😂
That's hilarious!
There are air fryer rotisserie chicken recipes that are just as good online, and you know what ingredients are in the seasoning. Beware of MSG, artificial flavorings, 460 gm sodium per 3 oz., other ingredients they wont list in all rotisserie chickens sold anywhere. If you feel bad after eating grocery rotisserie chicken, thats often why.
What do you weigh? Do you eat the whole chicken? Do you have sides when you eat the entire chicken? 'Taters, biscuits, dressing, cracklin' cornbread, raisin gravy? Yams, jams, hams? Just curious.
WOOOOOOOOOH
Out of the dumpster 😅😅😅😅
Tyson foods is evil, but necessary at the moment.
Fear mongering
Keep the Loss leaders coming, affordable food is how I'm able to keep stocking up. Rotisserie chicken turns into jars of canned chicken and broth. Not just fresh eating.
Can't have nice things.
Costco dumpster dive
Those things are trash and injected with crap.
Make your own - it isn't hard to cook a chicken
😢Poor 🐔
This story was a waste of time watching.
My dogs beg to differ. They love chicken!
This video is so stupid. For every claim - Source: Some redditors said so.
Many loves supermarket rotisserie chicken. They taste like fake chicken to me.
Take the plastic packaging off first.
