People often think of Sam's Club and Costco as sort of equivalent, but they're not and that kind of thing is one of the reasons why.

The rotisserie is just to get you in the door. They sell it at a loss, but know you're going to buy a bunch of stuff once you get there. I guess ppl are now just going in to buy 1 or 2, 50lbs bags of rice and beans and dipping out.
Apparently in the full context, this is in reference to some upscale grocery stores with an overpriced $30 "luxury" rotisserie chicken meal.
Not that this makes it much better. First, this seems like a small splurge compared to going to literally any restaurant for more than two people. Second, I had never heard of it before this article went viral and neither has anybody else I've seen in the comments... So this cannot be very common.
My conclusion is that this article is not for us. It's for rich people to help them feel less guilty about everyone complaining about their lives getting worse.

You mean the rotisserie chickens that are $5-6, compared to lunch meat being at 10-12/lb? Splurging on that rotisserie chicken purchase?
That rotisserie chicken that I can stretch into like three to five meals, including making broth? That one?

these articles are just trolling at this point with these kinds of headlines...
You mean the chicken that's $7.99 CAD, that feeds a single person 5-6 meals before taking the carcass / left over bits and making a soup out of it that feeds me for even more days at the cost of only rice and veggies?

Wait are you telling me a chicken dinner and juice is more attainable than a home?? Could that be why?
There’s a reason young people are travelling and using their savings on entertainment, we know we will never own. Not until we take housing by force, so what’s the point of saving? I can’t even save enough to keep up with interest. So yeah when I’m old I’ll be poor and the government will have to deal with me
GenZ complains about having so much debt and not enough income but they keep buying food! How can they expect to succeed when they waste their money so frivolously?!
..... That's what this headline reads like to me. How dare you buy food with the money you should be spending on the interest you owe to the owners of the country.
Reading the actual article, the lunacy and delusion is real. You don't even get three paragraphs in and they're using a sales engineer's thoughts to represent young people as a whole.
Yellow rice, beans, veggies and shredded rotisserie chicken. Meals for days.

It’s depressing just how quickly and comprehensively Jeff Bezos has managed to destroy the WSJ. It used to be respected internationally, now it’s just a grubby little clickfarm.
