Angry at Walmart

[Linux23]

bought 3 NY Stip steaks. Put on my new weber grill, 2 came out so moist and juicy, and the biggest one tasted like shit. So tough and rubbery I can barely eat it. It tasted like that beef was from an old cow on its last legs. Is there anyone I can complain to to get my money back? So pissed off right now.

always look at the strip steak first. if you see a half-moon shape where the meat looks different from the rest then you have a crappy cut.

Join a Wal-Mart raid perhaps and head for the steaks.

Here's hoping that unlike most of their customers, you actually used the restroom.

I want quality with my cheap prices dammit, "there aughta be a law."

By coincidence the first time I've ever purchased Walmart branded beef was just the other day and I was actually very impressed. It was a 4-pack of (supposedly) 80/20 Angus burgers and they came out great on the grill.

I would go back to the store with your receipt and see customer service.

That's from the end of the loin and yes, there is a line of gristle across the top.

all of the cuts looked good. perfect marbling in the steaks, just the one big cut (out of the 3) that feels like they butchered an old cow because it's chewy as hell. cooked mid rare i'd expected it to taste like butter but that wasn't the case. paid 20 bucks for the pack.

Take it back. They have a 100pct satisfaction guarantee on meat.

They accept vomit? :biggrin:

Someone overcooked the steak and doesn't want to admit it.
Alternatively he cut the last one the wrong way...

next time go to McDonald's

 

[sportage]

You shouldn't complain about a nice cut of meat from.... ????
China maybe?
BTW, do cows in China say moo too?

 

[Puppies04]

Buy bulk next time.

it happens, there is no guarantee that the meat will be great, it was indeed cow so they're off the hook even if they didn't hang the cow long enough to make it palatable.
Different price, different quality.

Should've gotten the boca burgers.

I learned long ago if you want quality steaks don't go to walmart. go to a store that has an actual meat counter with butchers working in it.

#1 you bought Walmart beef. We get our $10,000 steaks hand delivered and applied to the grill by the courier. The grill is ALWAYS ready.

#2 you did not confirm that you flame kissed the steaks. Since #1 happened, you clearly cooked the steaks well done - no red. You should be ashamed.

You know, it's people like you that have ruined not only this country, but all of humanity.

shrug. shit happens.

call and tell them. If it's as bad as you said you still have the steak since you didn't eat it. odds are they will take it back.

1.Buys meat at Walmart

2.Complains about taste

3.Fail

Complaining about perishables from wally world is like complaining that your dollar store water bottle broke.

Makes me wonder what they would do with the perfectly sanitary meat cuts that people just don't like. Should they throw them away instead of selling it?

We've gone back to Walmart a couple times unhappy about meat or produce, got a full refund on those items with zero hassle.
