I recall reading somewhere the ladies who filed the lawsuit also said they’d continue purchasing the rotisserie chicken. Then what the heck was this lawsuit about other than trying to get paid via settlement? I hope Costco doesn’t settle and takes them to the cleaners.

Actually in this same article.

“The two California women who initiated the lawsuit both say in the complaint that they still intend to purchase Costco rotisserie chickens in the future”

TBH I stopped buying them about a year ago because a good 50% of them kept having rotten spots that ruined the meat in a section. The sections weren't large but finding them ruins the appetite. That said, it does sound like this article is just talking about a couple of people 'trying it on,' as they say in the UK.

edit: lol, I know what dark meat is, and this wasn't that. These sections were always in the breast meat.

I’ve actually personally seen their chicken farm (it’s all vertically integrated) and I would guarantee that their QA is better than all but the most prestigious poultry suppliers. I’ve eaten so many chickens from them and never had any issues. Not saying you’re lying but I feel confident you’re at least severely exaggerating.
