Yeah even three years ago I was at shanwnessy Safeway to buy a full tenderloin they had on sale. Figured they were sold out when I didn't see any and asked the meat guy.
He grabbed one out of the back (it was $80, I think) and asked if that was all I needed and then walked me to the till with it. Apologized and said he's been doing that all weekend after multiple thefts leading to losing 12 tenderloins that week.
