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
And yet still cannot be bought with food stamps.
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
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.
Certainly can’t afford beef these days
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.
Let me put this in my corpo-infotainment translator and see what comes out.
Bleep, bleep bloop. Chugga chugga shwoosh. Ding!
“Please may we be among the first with our backs against the wall when the revolution comes? We worked hard for this privilege.”
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.”
Also, this article was probably AI-written. And it is getting publicity, which was the intention.
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.
