What stores are you going to now where this is the case, every time I buy some food I need to know exactly what I want. I wouldn't expect some 19-year-old clerk to be a culinary expert either.
- leetcrew 6y agothe cheese counter staff at whole foods are usually pretty knowledgeable (more so than me anyway). but even at a lower end store, the people that work there aren't idiots. they might not be able to tell you what cheese would go well with a california syrah, but they can probably recommend a good blend for homemade mac and cheese.
- calvinmorrison 6y agoYou'd be surprised how useful local butchers are at big chains. They really know their stuff and have been able to sort out cuts for me, even are happy to slice up some cheap big beef cuts into stir fry, they can make special orders of sausage, etc. Same goes for the bakery, I stand by my local ACME bakery being the easiest and very tasty birthday cake around, even above mom and pop shops.
- leetcrew 6y agooh for sure. I'm probably gonna go to an independent butcher if I want a nice ny strip, but otherwise I'm going to the local chain and asking the butcher what cut they recommend for the recipe I'm making.
- offtop5 6y agoI didn't call anyone an idiot, but if I'm a 19-year-old clerk I have other things on my mind than what type of cheese people like. Nor would it be this 19-year-old's job to guess what your preferences are
