I've never posted on here before. And I've noticed this board has grown silent of late. But I hope there are a few "meat gods" out there that could send some advice to a lowly meat cutter about to become a bossman. If this topic has been covered before, please direct me back into the files. Thanks, -K...

I was wondering how meat cutters today are dealing with "pilferage" in your store. Or possibly you can shed some light on supermarket pilferage in general. Thank you. The reason I asked is that this past Saturday while shopping with my wife at a National food store chain in our town we witnessed the me...

On Sunday, I accidentally (as opposed to doing it on purpose) cut my thumb rather badly on the band saw. There's probably already a topic on this on here somewhere.

This segment is really going to be dicey. Every department had a go-for. When I first started I was the go-for. It would go something like this. Phil, we need fresh parsley for display purposes for the meat loaf mix. Ground beef, pork and veal. We would put a sprig between each product. Now don't let th...

One store always has a bunch, and usually asks $2/lb, and often has some marked down to 99¢. I have recently di...

Ok so I hear people claim that if you slice salt meat pack it and block it from the light by turning it upside down it won't turn dark or not as quick. Anyone experienced any truth to this? Cause I haven't.

OK members, lets debate the subject of Ground Sirloin. 1) Are you selling Ground Sirloin? 2) If you are selling it, in what form are you buying it? 3) If you are buying it, do you know what is being used for ground sirloin at the beef packing level? I

Ok so today I was approached by a little old lady today requesting stew meat with the bone. I asked if she meant soup meat but she said no. She said back in the day she would go to the butcher shop and get it and it would have a little bone in it. To my knowledge stew meat is only boneless and when I told her they ma...
