    Near Baltimore Maryland there is a “gas station” chain called Royal Farms, that place is a fried chicken and small grocery store that also sells gas.

    Not sure id they have rotisserie chicken though. I do have to admit their fried chicken is good…

        That has more to do with food production laws than anything. Japan gets fresh food delivered every morning to their convenience stores, and people legitimately go for the food because it’s quick, cheap, and great quality. That’s because of the laws, not the business choices.

          Nothing prevents US businesses from doing the same. Just greed (in the interest of squeezing every penny of shareholder value) by instead stocking as little as possible that can go bad quickly. Which means minimal fresh foods. So shareholders get a couple extra pennies in exchange for the entire business being seen as a piece of shit with crappy products.

          Other businesses do just fine with fresh food, look at something like QT for a direct example. They even have made to order products, not just product delivered daily.

    There are definitely gas stations out there selling rotisserie chickens. I’ve never seen it. Never specifically heard of that being a thing. But there’s no way there aren’t any gas stations out there somewhere that are.

    The big trends for ‘25-‘50 are electrification and veganism. As part of the (feeble) countermovement, rotary chicken may well happen sooner than anyone would expect.

    There’s a gas station near me that has the best Thai food in town and there’s another gas station that has a great sangwich place. So not quite rotisserie chickens but definitely solid food at some of em.

      I’ve had AMAZING fried chicken from Royal Farms. I’ve also had mediocre fried chicken from them. The lack of consistency has scared me off from going regularly, but I am really curious…

      …is the whole fried chicken thing real?
