A COSTCO worker says they give shoppers a huge clue when the store’s hugely popular rotisserie chicken is ready.
Americans know when the poultry is coming out of the oven as they will be able to hear a bell ringing in store.

The noise comes from behind the deli counter and travels throughout the store.
Shoppers then rush to the shelves as they try to get their hands on the freshly-cooked batch of chickens, EatThis reveals.
Costco’s rotisserie chickens are incredibly popular as they cost just $5.
And, the chain sold more than 100 million birds in 2020 – a record number, according to Readers Digest.
Birds are unlikely to weigh more than six pounds otherwise they wouldn’t fit on the spit for roasting, EatThis reports.
Last month, there were fears of a rotisserie chicken shortage amid reports of empty shelves in Costco stores across the US.
Health experts warned customers to “prepare for the worst” after reported cases of bird flu and a series of twisters in the South and Midwest battered chicken farms.
A flock of broiler chickens at a Tysons Food factory in Kentucky tested positive for the H5N1 avian flu strain.
And 30,000 turkeys at a southern Indiana farm were culled at a southern Indiana farm.
It’s the first time the strain has been seen since 2020.
Fans took to social media to say how much they adore the roasted meat.
One said: “Mayhem at Costco… no more rotisserie chickens!!!! Aaacccchhhh.”
Another commented: “No rotisserie chicken at our Costco. Quite a shock.”
While a third posted: Who would’ve guessed that Costco being out of rotisserie chicken would be a bigger deal than when there was no toilet paper? Ppl are NOT happy.”
Meanwhile, a Costco employee has revealed what asterisks on price labels may mean for shoppers.
And, The Sun has already listed four ways to save money at the store.
