  • Boston Buttface

    Last night, at 5 MINUTES AFTER CLOSING, a woman came up to me and asked me to help her find some whole Boston butt. It wasn't where it usually was, so I simply said that we must be out (Did I mention it was 5 minutes after closing time?). She told me to go check in the back.

    1. I have only been working here for about a month, and I only work the front end, bagging, sweeping, mopping, trash duty, etc. If someone asks me to put an item back on the shelf, it takes me damn near 10 minutes to find it.

    2. The meat department's "back" is not the same as our "back". It's some sort of hidden Batcave chock full of meat that I've never seen.

    I told her this and apologized, and she made a cat butt face and walked off, saying, "You don't even know what Boston butt is", in a really shitty tone. I shambled off to the back to fill up the mop bucket and make derogatory remarks about her promiscuity to nobody in particular.

    I had to look that up myself as I'd never heard of Boston butt.

      It's the shoulder of the pig, contrary to popular belief. Used to make pulled-pork barbecue most of the time.
      It's gooooooood.

        stupid lady should have learned that stores are better stocked when they're - *GASP* - open.

          I don't think i could say this with a straight face to anyone for any reason.

            Yesterday, I was walking around with my granddaughter at the local fair and happened to notice the banner on the back side of a concession stand.
            It said, "Pork butt on a stick"
            I thought, "MMMM, sounds tasty."

              "I can recognize the one standing in front of me just fine."

              And here I thought it was a politer/more obfuscated way of saying "Masshole".

                And now I'm wondering if there's a place I can go to get a pulled pork sandwich for breakfast. Probably not in this godforsaken place of dry beef brisket.

                  I'm having brisket for dinner. Yum. (Wait, it's Labor Day, aren't we supposed to be BBQing? My parents are weird.)

                    You can BBQ brisket, it comes out great, just really time consuming. You almost smoke it, then allow it to slow cook over some great apple chips. Perfection

                      Totally love that turn of phrase. <3

                      I am convinced that you can sell anything "on a stick." I've seen some frightening examples: sausage wrapped with pancake sold in the freezer section, deep fried twinkies on a stick. If I could just figure out how to sell fried rice on a stick, I'd be a total winner!

                        Like a kind of corn on the cob?

                        @OP, it sucks big time when they don't get the fact you're new and don't know everything/where everything is. Especially after closing time, she should have realise it was time to leave. Boo to her.
