That is so true! I've seen that with packages of meat all too many
times over the years. Just left on a non-refrigerated shelf. I'm
sorry, but if you decide you don't want it please take it back to the
meat department! There's no shame in changing your mind. The guy/gal
working at the meat counter won't chastise you. Just put it back where
it belongs!
