last time I shopped (on a Saturday!!) the Beef section had a whole 6 packages.. (Not counting ground beef, but they were out of a number of the ‘grinds’ there, too...) Pork and chicken weren’t much better - and there wasn’t a “Yellow Tag” markdown in sight....

It's been that way here for a couple years. They'll put out a couple of packages of whatever cut and that's it. It's like doing a drug deal to get more. You have to find "the guy" and he'll hemhaw around and finally go to the back only to bring out one little package and tell you that's all he has. The usual story is the truck didn't have whatever it is you want. I haven't seen a markdown on fresh produce in a year either. Who knows what they're doing with it all.

” You have to find “the guy” “

I go straight for the Assistant Manager On Duty (there’s one that cringes and tries to scurry off whenever he sees me.. ;)) I don’t get any more meat (or whatever else they’re out of), but there’s a certain grim satisfaction in making ‘the man’ squirm... ;)
