I always figure they sell it at a loss on purpose to get you in through the door. Thinking you’ll come for the chicken and then buy something else

Rotisserie chicken is the chicken that was about to go bad. It's loss prevention. A cheap Rotisserie chicken is more profitable than throwing an old chicken away.
It's also a way to bring you into the store, particularly Costco and Sam's Club. If they can get you in the door, they can entice you with impulse purchases. For me, it's a good way to have a cheap, somewhat healthy meal when we don't have much time, all while picking up some groceries.
While I'm at it, bang bang shrimp is similar. It's about to go bad or is of low quality, so put a really strong sauce on it and at least you can sell something vs. throw it out.
I dunno, ii figured it's mass produced due to the celery juice flavor (nitrite preservative) and is therefore benefiting from an economy of scale.
The box could be anything. The box could even be a boat!
Rotisserie chicken isn't the final form.
You can turn left over rotisserie chicken into chicken soup.
The chicken's fate isn't sealed until it is converted to poo.
Then boil the soup leftovers into stock and freeze it!
can't read "what's up with that?" without hearing Kenan's voice
