I work at waitrose on the counters and yesterday whilst working on the meat and fish counter, I had a man and wife browse through our meat section. I asked if they were looking for anything in particular and they responded ” your dry aged sirloin steak”.
We had some unopened dry aged sirloin and informed the customers that I would be happy to open it for them. I presumed to open the pack and asked how many slices they wanted and how thick they were to be. 2 thick slices later costing around £16 I wrapped up the meat and gave them to the couple, I told them to enjoy….surprisingly the man responded “oh dear, we don’t eat meat, we are both vegetarians….this is for our dog Clifford….it’s his favourite”. Needless to say I stood speechless and couldn’t help but giggle whilst they chirped off perhaps browsing for more expensive ingredients for their lucky dog named Clifford.
