i had the good inch thing before..it seems to mean a little more than an inch..sometimes they say solid inch. my advice to customer would be figure out what you want before you leave the house

my least favorite people are the drunk ones, one christmas eve i had some yahoos all loaded up looking for a bonein beef crown roast. after giving them the price for 3 whole bi ribs, they decided not too go for it.
another favorite is a customer TELLING you that someone cut something special for them or they always get an item at your store, that you either dont sell or dont cut. bonus points for those who say the other cutter did it for them or they got it the previous day( when you were working) and being the only cutter in the dept.
yesterday some pajama wearing welfare woman wanted me to markdown a few boxes of butter quarters becase the boxes were beat up. i think i seriously hate people.

"tri tip"

 

This happens a lot. People who don't use a complete sentence. They just say one word or two such as "pork chops" or "chicken"

How do you answer "tri tip"  ?

 

Should I just shrug my shoulders &  lift up like hands (like I'm saying "what!!!???") and say "bananas?"

 LOL. That's a great answer! Only problem is that they don't always say "tri tip". Sometimes it's "skirt steak" etc.

got to be creative if its a cute lady asking for skirt steak tell her you got a big long one and it could be free.  if they say "chicken"  and I get that one sometimes turn around and say "who are you calling chicken?"  sometimes I get people coming to me and say "beef liver"  I say "huh?  yes I love beef" 

 

 you know whats really annoying if you have a self serve case you would know what I mean when everything is IN the case already and they are still asking for it and where it is you kind of want to say "Look ia m here to cut the meat not do your shopping your got to do that part and look for it" i get alot of people who want me to come and out and find everything for them when its kind of right in front of them. I even asked for a shopping list once and starting plucking all the meat items out of the case and put it in their buggy and then directed them to the stock manager for everything else.  That probably wasn't very nice of me but i got them what they wanted.

Thanks for the reply Joe. Yes, we have limited and seasonal selections of similar products. Usually frozen or smoked. I guess the comedy for the team was the lady's delivery in her inquiry. Our store is in the center of east end Louisville, what could be described as the "snootiest" community in the suburbs. I figured the laughs would be limited. Some of these folks, are those "Barbie Dolls" that will try to boil an egg in a micro wave!biggrin  The ignorance can be staggering. May God bless us all.  MRB

can't let people take advantage of me expecially when they want to be dishonest. now if he wanted to buy a whole strip I would have gave him a good price but he was just asking for basically two family packs..i got those in the case. i ll cut more if you don't like the ones in the case but you get them for that price.
