I think the toothless wonders at the packing house kept a few ribeyes back for their trouble.
Butchers are well known for pinching the best cuts to take home.
i have always wondered about that........bob
I've heard that all my life.
But, I've never seen it. Even once.
And I grew up working in my family's meat packing company.
Which is more valuable? Stealing a few dollars worth of meat, or establishing a reputation as a good business, which grows through word of mouth through the community?
I'm sure some disreputable meat packers are out there. But they won't be in business for long.
I lay the vast majority of those stories on the ignorance of people not knowing what cutting loss percentage is.
