In reply to the discussion: At WalMart, food safety is their #1 priority. Ha ha ha ha ha! GOT you, sucker. Enjoy your beef. [View all]Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)5. True, but...
...I'm extremely paranoid about food safety. Meat sitting at room temperature for any period of time, unattended, is cause for concern on my part.
I would HOPE that by the time the WalMart employee grabbed that cart, the meat would have been tossed. There's nothing on the cart to indicate how long any of the items have been sitting there.
And while it was 101 here yesterday and the A/C was on in Walmart, you couldn't feel it in the Customer Service area, where this cart was sitting.
I understand everything you've posted here, but only on an intellectual level. If that meat sat around and got re-shelved (and yes, we have no idea if it did or not), there is nothing that would make me feel good about buying it, safe or not.

Those pesky employees! Never around when you need one - and then you have to PAY them!
