    Millennials are increasingly middle aged. Why are we being shamed for taking things for gut health and eating cheap food meant for families. For fucks sake I’m 31 and my gut isn’t what it once was.

    The rotisserie chicken is a loss leader – cheaper than buying an uncooked chicken. It is literally one of the most cost-effective ways to eat

        This brings me back to being a cashier and having to be the bad guy in this scenario. A coworker of mine got fired for “disposing” of rotisseries at a local food bank. I tried to carry on their legacy but the managers took it upon themselves to protect the needy from food poisoning and the company from liability by taking the days chicken to the dumpster themselves.

        Well that’s because they want to punish those who need them not actually assist them.

        oh you’re too poor to afford food, must be lazy not vastly underpaid. Enjoy having to spend all your time working and then cooking

      I actually hate this. I want to buy a raw chicken and cook the different pieces in different ways. You know, get some orange chicken from the breast and teriyaki chicken from the thighs and turn the rest into soup or whatever. Why is my raw bird $1.50 more than this cooked one? Whatever. I’m not struggling I’ll get the raw one, which is weird to say.

      Exactly. I literally only buy them sometimes because I want a whole chicken for part of dinner for the family and I am not paying a few dollars extra for the privilege to do it myself.

    Let me put this in my corpo-infotainment translator and see what comes out.

    Bleep, bleep bloop. Chugga chugga shwoosh. Ding!

      Curiously, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica which fell through a rift in the time-space continuum from 1000 years in the future describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as: “A bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came.”

      Everytime I go to the store in the last few months, the chicken is severely picked over, and the beef is full stocked.

      I have been wondering if beef is actually going to waste because no one is buying it.

      Now there’s something that’s actually a problem: the splurging on AI by a few oversized tech companies, supported by the government, just to ultimately result in garbage like this.
