Hours. They keep the store cool with A/C, and the meat dept even
cooler as the back room is one big refrigerator. That's where they
keep and cut/process all their meat. Their ground beef is ground as
needed and put in a big tray (maybe 10lbs at a time) in their cold
display case with all their other meats.

I've bought ground beef where they have to go back and grind me more
because their display is less than I want to purchase.

This is NOT styro-tray shrink wrapped ground beef!

I was telling the butcher today about how folks on RFC were making
denigrating comments about "mystery meat" and stuff like that. They
found it very amusing too, as they (better than anyone else) knows how
Straub's has some of the highest quality meats in town!
