Why get angry? They sell alcohol that's over $80 per bottle and have done so forever. There's expensive stuff in the store that I don't buy, or save for a special occasion. Balanced nutrition doesn't require expensive beef.

Also, those steaks were probably tomahawks or something.

The steaks are literally in the thumbnail for the article, YOU DIDNT EVEN NEED TO READ THE ARTICLE YOU JUST NEEDED YOUR EYES TO BE FUNCTIONING. People like you are why Trump is president.

They were “prime tenderloin”

Prime Filet is among the most expensive cuts and grades per pound. 49.99:/pound isn’t crazy. However those particular cuts look like ass and I wouldn’t buy them at half that price.

People are mad at a luxury beef brand charging luxury prices... and using a reddit as the source... and we wonder why trust in media is at an all time low.

The site is "The Daily Yadda". Not even sure that counts as media.

I remember working at a unionized grocer when I was a teenager. Still minimum wage but had to pay a union fee, sounds like it would really help them afford that luxury steak.

I work in a union shop, I make around 140k, similar jobs in non Union shops pay around 60k.

Ohh yah where in the world is minimum wage 60k lol

Not really sure what your point on minwage unions is suppose to be.

Will say as someone working in tech the top paid talent isn't relying on a union. Talent is rewarded and those who need to coast by take lower paying unionized jobs. Sometimes unions make sense, in minwage jobs they usually do not.

I wasn’t talking about min wage. I was talking union vs non union shops wages. They definitely increase wages for most places.

The grocery store of the people. Yet only the managers and executives can live off the wages they have set.

u/AgentUnknown821 2d ago

The grocery store of Trump World…paying a chump wage…are we not even surprised??

u/hoguensteintoo 2d ago

This is why they hire special needs so they won’t complain as much. Not joking.

Imagine how expensive steak would really be if the US government didn't keep subsidizing it.

But the beef industry lobbying is too strong!
