Inland Valley Meats (formerly Far West Meats) — Local services in Colton

This was the worst experience ever. The cashier didn't know how to work the cash register, nor did he know the prices of the products. He was having problems with customers while I was shopping, but when my turn came it really got crazy. After totaling up my order, l placed my credit card in the reader, verified and approved the transaction. So I was waiting for the receipt and then he said the transaction didn't go through because he didn't get a receipt? That was incorrect. I receive a text notification from my bank whenever a transaction over a certain amount happens. I showed him this on my phone for the exact same amount he charged. Long story short, he apparently didn't hit save and print on his cash register. Before I even got to the cash register a woman came from the back to help him load new register tape. Now another woman came to figure out what happened. She said the order didn't go through. I showed her where it did go through and I was not going to pay twice. A third lady came out and looked my phone showing the transaction. They said (usually) a bank will cancel if they see a duplicate transaction. I said just give me my order and I would leave without a receipt. She asked me to (sign) into my bank account etc. Why is this woman treating me like a scam artist or something, when the guy is telling her he screwed up, but I the customer has to suffer? I think not. This went on nearly an hour. People in line also offering them advice. So the guy called the owner. The owner told him to ring my order again using the same card and method and if it went through to give me a cash refund for the first transaction. So he did, and it went through. I showed this on my phone proving that Wells Fargo's equipment is up to date and deducting transactions. Of course, there were different totals. So he gave me the cash refund, but when I checked my receipt while sitting in my car, he had over charged me $3.99. I didn't have the strength to go back inside. He I really didn't have a problem with. He made a mistake and owned up to it, and (found) a solution. But the woman that came to help him didn't know nada. She wasn't any help at all. Felt like an hour in a torture...

I wanted to try meat from this place for a while. When I got to the store front I didn't realize all their meat is frozen solid. I was going to buy some steaks but their porthouses were so thin. I bought a variety box that came with chicken wings, pork ribs, hot links, and 2 packs of bacon. I tried the hickory bacon first. It had a funny taste to it and I am not sure why. My wife wasn't able to eat it. I don't think it was spoiled. I made all the ribs next. It comes with 3lbs of ribs but they are the smallest sections I've ever seen. There was about 6 sections of the small portion of a pork loin rib rack. Each had about 4 bones. And eas about 5 inches im length. Again, the meat had an off taste and I'm not sure why. I made a stock with all the chicken wings as they were tiny and not worth making into party wings. The stock came out very bland without much chicken flavor. I was most looking forward to the hotlinks and they were a huge disappointment. They tasted gamey and the grind used to make them is too fine. I got an extra pack of Louisiana links to try and they also had...

Sad that you drive so far to see about making a purchase of some Chuck Beef Ribs or they call it beef short rib and while the lady behind the counter was very professional trying to make the sale the employees behind my back was giving her the no with his hand waving back and forth across his chin and I turned and looked at him while doing it cause the female employee was explaining if they can cut them sad to have your employee in that position cause I felt you didn’t want to do your job and for her to see me catch the employee telling no while she was explaining behind my back and got caught should of just stayed in the back …!!!! But for the female employee I love your professionalism everytime I patronize your business and please whoever read this at the company please acknowledge her on the job she makes customers such as myself keeps coming back indeed for i refuse to let 1 employee stop me from coming because of his laziness over another’s great customer service..!!!!
