My mom never bought meat there when I was growing up. Now I know why. This is the same store where I bought all that cheap meat and had to put it in the freezer. As I said... If it is a branded item such as the organic beef, Foster Farms chicken, packaged bacon or ham, fine. I will no longer buy their pork chops, chicken, steak, roasts, etc. Just not good. And retailers don't dislike me. Why would they? I buy stuff from them. I rarely return things. And I am polite. |
