MEAT - I hate when they do this!!!

[hotpostalchick]

Whoops, keep forgetting to mention my Dad is 83 and was working up until just a few months ago and he is looking for a job. Which sounds funny but they both kind of have to work. Their social security is very small and really not enough to live on. My dad was laid carpet for years and had his own business so no retirement.

Sorry to hijack the thread, I will go back to minding my own business now.

My Grandma is 84 and works @ Publix handing out samples. She just loves to work, doesn't *need* to but I think it keeps her "young" ;-)............... I'm with ya on the meat OP. I hate when they do that!

For me, I usually find the 'extra' with chicken; however, the worst I'd ever seen was with hamburger. I purchased a 3 lb package of hamburger, got it home to break it apart to freeze in smaller sizes and found that the butcher had placed about 2lbs of solid fat on the tray and built hamburger up around it. I flipped out, put my two toddler kids back into the car, drove to the store and spoke with the owner. (small town) He didn't seem surprised, but told me to go back to the meat department and find the largest package of ground beef I could find and take that home.

And now I know that HCW doesn't have a "jaw dropping" smilie.

Unreal! What, did they think the buyer wouldn't notice??
