My husband is a meat cutter in a grocery store and he has ground up
boneless pork loins and other pork products for customers. Of course,
he then cleans the grinder which takes about twenty minutes. So long
as the grinder is clean, there is no problem from any of his
customers. Any meat which is in its original container can be ground
if the bones are removed. No meat can be brought in from home or
other stores. No deer, half hogs or half anything else. Whatever the
store sells, the store can grind.
Cleaning takes twenty minutes, but some customers have been shopping
there for over ten years. Customer service makes a profit in the long
run.
As a update to the original story and a bit more infor mation this is
NOT a big box store it is a faily new local market one of the major
chains in the area. After e-mailing corporate and then calling the
store twice, last night I lucked out and called the store at the same
time the Dristrict manager was there he told me. " We have no policy
that says we won't grind meat for customers and that in the future
they will grind anything I want" as an aside they are also givning me
a $25 girft card for my troubles.
