Mini Mart Specialty Meats — Local services in Detroit

I have been shopping at this store since I was about eight years old. The owners name was Sam at the time. My dad had a credit account, and we used to shop during the week and pay his bill on Friday if there was a balance. Food is always fresh, especially from the butchers counter.

T. is a long-time neighborhood friend. I moved away from Detroit 22 years ago to see him still working there, saying something about his talent as a butcher and staff. All the store's staff seems to have a nitch for customer. The whole team in the meat department is professional and works well together.

It happens to me every month and I'm sick of it. I called to discuss it but no answer. I even discussed the camera issue once upon a time THEY DON'T CARE. So now I'm here. Shop...

Even though I like this store for its selection, I frown on the fact that they consistently slice meat with the plastic on. This is not a good thing, eating small ingrained pieces of contaminated plastic while you eat inflated prices of meat. They don't properly insulate refrigerated items and I can't trust the Amish chicken because it's next to steroid chicken and it looks the same. I believe this is because of the urban area they are in - black people!! Stand up for yourself!!! I think the health department should visit this place. Amish, Non-GMO, Organic items should be available without bias!! Or maybe it's just about the almighty dollar and...
