Some people

We just returned from traveling last week and during the course of our travels we stopped by a premier meat shop in a small town in Montana.  The meat case was pretty impressive and featured many cuts of what seemed to be Montana's best beef, pork, chicken and some lamb from Colorado. 

In the front window and in other places in the store were proud posters announcing their partnership with Boar's Head of which they did have quite a selection of.  We purchased some steaks and I asked the woman to slice me about a half pound of Coppa.  She did this after struggling to get the slicer to work right but in her frustration with the slicer, she forgot to remove the netting which shredded all throughout the slices of meat.  I did not realize this until we got back to where we were staying.

All I can say about that is wow, what a disaster.  From what is supposed to be a "Fine Meat Purveyor" in a mostly upscale tourist town.  Some people need to learn to relax, take their time and do things in the same fashion that it took to produce a great product. 

The meat shop will go un-named as will the town.....
