I didn't eat the stuff and I didn't ask for specifics. My mom told me it
was bad. Someone else said they had a sale and the meat was really good. I
bought some. Both my husband and Angela said it was bad. Those were their
exact words. The person who had recommended the meat to me had taken some
to where my dad was living at the time. He complained that the meat was bad
as did the others that had been served the meat. Again, exact words. That
was good enough for me. I haven't bought it since.

What I can say that it wasn't poorly packaged. Overpriced? Well, I guess
so, since it wasn't edible. I don't think it was spoiled. People just
didn't like it.

Well, that settles it...if everyone uses the word "bad", we'll never know what caused the "bad" meat to be "bad". I would guess that it was just created to be "bad"...probably from bad cows and bad bulls, raised by "bad" ranchers.

I only eat beef from well behaved cows. Bad cows have tough meat after
having to write "I must not crap on the barn floor" a couple hundred
times.

Holy crap. There is a prime example of Bovine idiocy. She posted that
the meat at that store was bad. When pressed for specifics about it she
claimed that she never ate it. She was going by what her husband and
daughter said about it. Imagine that. The two people in her family who
never like anything she cooks said it was bad. I don't think either of
them would be in a position to know if meat is good or bad because she
always cooks her meat as soon as she gets home and then freezes it.

Not just them. My mom, my friend, people from the dance studio who said
they didn't buy meat there.

Yep, here is another example where bove provides her other-hand
justification why she cannot be trusted --- hearsay instead of actual
experience!

I have heard complaints on Safeway's pork before.

So it's not uncommon. Tough and flavorless was the verdict.

Safeway and Albertsons are one and the same here now. I don't buy their
meat either. Actually when I do shop at either place it is mainly for soda
pop and magazines. I might buy some bread, a bag of chips or a can of
something but I don't even care for their produce too much.

They are indeed, and maybe not for the better either...
