Some time back I was looking to buy some pork fat. I called Best Meats and they told me to come on a certain day of the week "because they'll have some cut then". I gave them my name, told them when I'd be there and asked to inform the meat cutters. The person I spoke to said she'd take care of it.

The day/time arrived. I showed up and asked about the pork fat. The woman behind the counter merely looked at me blankly, knowing nothing about it even though I gave her my name and verified the pick-up time. She did go back to (I assume) the meat-cutting area to ask. She came back and said that no one knew about it, but that I could stop back tomorrow because "they might have some then".

Didn't feel like wasting another trip so I found the pork fat elsewhere.
