Some places like Costco - yes.

Other places have them priced high enough that I think they make money on them.

(The trick is they take the unsold ones and strip the meat off and sell it in the deli/sandwiches.)

It's a good way for a grocer to minimize waste. When raw chicken gets close to sell by date, turn it into rotisserie chicken, when it doesn't sell - turn it into sandwiches and other products.

My kids just remarked to me that a Costco rotisserie chicken was $4. I didn't believe them but I do now. I wonder how freezing that will thaw. That's a cheap food option.

On the /r/costco subreddit they talk about deboning it the moment they get home and then setting aside the bits for pre planned meals(here’s where one would slice then freeze). The bones can be used for making stock.
