i used to get that butcher29 when i worked for a big chain store. people were always asking for this strip steak out of the family pack because it looks better than the rest or with pork chops. the manager told me to tell them no we have small packs for that reason.

i put the better looking steaks into small packs and rest into familys, the reason is that the would be more motiviated to buy the single pack based on looks than price, nothing worse for a customer than two steaks the same price and one is stunning and the other its ugly sister. since fp are discounted by up to 10 percent most of the time, people are usually looking for gettng the most bang for their buck. if they are really bad looking because of bad processing, then they may get hit up with some dry seasoning to help the cause.

I like this topic:

I didn't get this question this week. You're specifically asking about this week?

No irritating questions this week.

BUT: in the past people have asked me about the fish: "does it taste fishy?"

"Why is the ribeye on sale? What's wrong with it?" Mostly from older customers.
Also, not really a question but a very irritating situation. An older lady asked for half a pound of ground lamb. I threw it on the scale and it hit 0.54. I printed the tag and started to wrap it up when the lady says ".54? How about .50 just like I asked for." I smiled, took a pinch off and said sure.

 It's not only ladies who get that. I used to look a lot younger than my real age. I was probably already 23, but maybe looked 18. Had been in the meat business 6 years already. An old lady rings the bell and says "Oh, you probably can't answer my question. Isn't there anyone older than you back there?" She wanted back fat and didn't think I would have known what it is.

Even new coworkers, guys out of the union hall there just for the day, or from other stores just for the day would ask (before seeing me work) "are you a journeyman?"

I don't work retail but one of my long time employees asked me how many 8oz. tenderloin steaks per box. ( we always pack them 4/bag, 24/bx ) so I told him, the same as you have been doing it for the last 5 years, dumbass. I went and checked and he packed them 5/ bag, 50/box.

 

I just shook my head and left the floor.
