I have a food smoker I use to make my own jerky. I buy sliced beef roasts to make my own marinated jerky. I usually give some of it to family and co-workers. Yum Yum. As a teenager I worked in the meat department of a Thriftway store, wrapping meat and cleaning the meat dept. at night before closing. I learned the different cuts of meat and can usually pick a nice tender steak, if I'm not deceived. WinCo Food's meat department (at least the store on the west end of Hillsboro Oregon) often sells boneless beef roasts which they have sliced, about a quarter inch thick, GREAT IDEA. THE PROBLEM: About 8 months ago I got home from this store with TWO sliced roasts which they had tucked about a pound of fat under the top layer that you couldn't see without un-packaging the roast. I'm thinking, this is a rotten trick! PAYING FOR A LOT OF FAT, obviously stuck there on purpose. But I let it go, I had time to watch it cook and wanted it done. THEN, a couple months later I bought one roast to make some more jerky. Same thing, a wad of fat hidden in it! I took it back this time and informed the meat dept. cleaning lady, asking for a refund, which I got. (I was gracious to her, after all, she didn't pull this trick.) She said she'd show it to their butcher. I told her that I appreciated her efforts with this matter, as this was WRONG. Three days ago, I bought two more roasts, same thing, a wad of un-useable fat tucked into the middle. Needless to say, I took it back for a refund AND I'M DONE. THIS IS UN-ACCEPTABLE! Everyone knows (and talks about) their produce is of poor quality, often spoiling soon after you buy it (the Thriftway I worked at threw this crap away if they couldn't give it to the local charity). Sometimes (seasonally) produce is better than other times of the year, I get that. But I guess this is how they got to be, and continue to be "THE LOW PRICE LEADER" that they continually boast about. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Bye for good this time, I can't afford their LOW PRICE CRAP.
