Went to the local Sam's to pick up some prime rib for a smoke this weekend. Was looking through the meat counter and found in the whole rib roast counter there were 5 miss priced rib roasts at brisket prices. I thought it was too good to be true but loaded 2 into my cart at $20-25 rather than $90-100. Feeling that my approach wasn't quite right I went up to the window looking for some assistance from the cutter, took one of the regular priced and one of the mis-marked packages and asked if this was in error. He quickly grabbed the under priced package from my hand and I then shared with him that there may be more packages in the counter. A simple thank you from him would have caused enough guilt to have him re-price the packages in my cart, but because in his three times passing me to correct the other package pricing he didn't even acknowledge anything, I bought the 2 I had. Maybe I should have bought them all - maybe I shouldn't have bought any but I did smoke on the cheap last weekend 1/2 of an 18+ pound rib roast with 27 more pounds to go.
