Actually my first bad experience with them after shopping there for the last 19 years. Their butchers all know me and I always get killer cuts of meat as long as I go early when they aren't crazy busy.
Who knows how often a chain gets fresh out of the water mussels. Disclaimer: Their fish is always great. I'm just going to stay away from stuff like shellfish, lobster, oysters, etc.
