UPDATE: Got the feedback this was a "rant". The skinny is ... There's never any roasted chicken (you'd want) as promised and heavily advertised. If you want roasted chicken this probably isn't the best place for you.
The Review As Written...
Meh. I only stop here if I'm chasing chickens.
No, not the kind you routinely see walking around Arcadia. The roasted kind you're supposed to peel the skin off of and eat as a healthy protein. (Ok, so SOMETIMES if the skin is crispy I might just have some. Maybe.)
The deal with Fry's is that if they don't have a roasted chicken available you can have a credit. So I've noticed an annoying trend about this store. I only stop in here if I'm desperate (and coming from downtown). Or if I'm about to eat my arm. But usually I have to be *really* short on time to stop here given the other nice Fry's Marketplace options.
Sooooo...anyway. This location will have one sad, pathetic pale and undercooked chicken available for your purchase. ALL THE TIME. So, no, I don't really want to buy that one. But I really need/want a roasted chicken to shred for post work-out. "Ok, fine. I'll take that weakling home." But every time I've regretted it. I can only salvage a third of the chicken. The rest is fatty or just not really cooked. (UGH.)
And it's not like I can ask for a "better" chicken. I've tried that. (At CostCo sure. Hang around for a bit. They'll churn some out. Not here. Soooorrrry.)
When I checked out today I mentioned that I had the last chicken to the cashier. Oh boy. And then SUDDENLY (like magic) the phones were picked up. "Gotta make fresh chicken!"
Really?
Thanks.
