Got my elk back from butcher...somethings fishy
Michelle_Nelson:
grundy53, in a perfect world I would agree with you. That is how it should happen. Then again things happen and people get busy and forget. It gets really busy for butchers that time of year. Things get overlooked or forgotten once in a while.
Most Business owners want to run a perfect Business. In reality that is impossible.

Business owners that run a sloppy business often find themselves out of business.

Interesting how much heavier the northern deer are. I didn't weigh the ones I took up there BITD. Down where I live in the southwest with hotter climates they must be much smaller bodied deer overall. I process them all myself and am usually doing good to put 40pounds of packages of meat in the freezer.

I'm trying to give the butcher the benefit of the doubt. Accidents happen, people make honest mistakes. Still, I feel this business has made several mistakes:
1) they massively underestimated how long it would take to process my elk - they said 3 weeks originally.
2) they took 2+months to process the animal. (it was not 3 months)
3) during that time they did not return my calls - I left several messages during regular business hours (no one answered the phone)
4) they did not follow my order instructions
5) they were completely missing part of my order
6) the manager had to ask me how much I brought in when I came to pick up the order because according to him the employee that weighted in my meat did not record it.
I just expect a business/owner to act professionally regardless of how busy they are. I don't think this chain of events reflects professionalism.

Sir.....sounds like you have been royally screwed. I'd be bent so far outta shape its not funny.
Now that you have reached this point have you had any feedback from the business regarding the employee that did the cutting? Have you begun to discuss how you will be compensated?
Accidents do happen, people do make mistakes. However whether it be a butcher, an outfitter, or a taxidermist, if there is no communication, an apparent disregard for order instructions, a gross delay on processing, and apparent complete disregard for honest business practices then they get what they deserve.
