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 missing completely missing part of my order
6) the manager had to ask me how much I brought in when 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 are. I don't think this chain of events reflects professionalism.

I would report them to the WDFW. There may even be a wastage charge applicable. It sounds ridiculous to me, the amount of time is suspect, the weight is suspect, their lack of response is suspect.

Can butchers accept Elk meat as a tip? Maybe he just wanted his 50% gratuity.
:peep:

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.

It's never their own fault.

I would even suggest they send in an undercover warden to buy elk meat out the back door. Well, maybe when Cenci is gone that is.
