If a butcher is gonna talk to you about meat, you better listen up!

A butcher shared a video on TikTok where he took a walk through the meat section at a Safeway grocery store and gave viewers his opinions about what was going on.

He didn’t seem too impressed with this Safeway location and he said, “I can always tell if a meat department is good or not by the first impression. This was not a good first impression, so it makes me want to dig a little deeper.”

He said, “This pan was never switched out, it wasn’t freshened up, not gone through. Definitely not a top-notch meat department.”

Lastly, he went to the discount section and he talked about the many issues he saw with the meat there.
