In this case, it is valid and warranted. 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.
