Welcome to Thunderdome

Costco has some legit decent prepared food. It's not going to blow your socks off, but it's better than some restaurants.

I'm not suffering that crowd for prepared food.

My wife goes during work hours on a weekday as it's much less crowded. We don't go there on weekends. Way too crowded.

Yeah, wish that were true here. It's just a 24/7 zoo. Or whatever it's hours are.

They tried to build another in the area, but couldn't for zoning or something.

Crazy.

We have two here. Coincidentally, my co-worker just told me his wife had him running an errand there for lunch today.

1. I've been in Costcos in other cities. goddam I wouldn't have a membership if my local ones were like that. The two in Toledo will be crazy for about 2 days around Thanksgiving and xmas, but otherwis just flirt with various levels of "kinda busy."

2. The rotisserie chicken, if done properly, can feed you for a week on $5. Two-Four full servings of white meat, then boil the shit out of the carcass and you have a gallon of broth. You'll have to supplement with cheap rice or beans, but the protein and flavor is there on the cheap.

In competitive markets they do.
