Why did you continue with freezing the meat after you opened the package and it stunk? Im sure you could have returned and they would have given you some new meat and probably given you something for your trouble.
I shop at the 4th St location in Mission quite frequently and have found this to be a great shop.
Its unfortunate about your experience but it shouldnt stop others from shopping here and even you should give it another try.
Are you sure you handled the meat properly from the time you took it out of the store to when you brought it home and then opened it? Im surprised theyd give you a stinky piece of meat from under the glass.
Id suggest going back there and telling them of your experience even if you dont intend to shop there again. Im sure youd get your money back at the very least.

I grabbed the first slice, put it on the end of the fondue fork and put it in the yummy broth. Took it out 5 minutes later, looked a nice cooked color, and put it in my mouth. HOLY FACK! *mod edit*.
So the moral of the story is that spending extra money for premium butcher beef is not worth it.
