New Harlem Halal Meat — Local services in New York

This place confuses me both figuratively and literally. I have no idea if other people had this issue, but when there I was losing my mind. So many items did not have price tags on them and I am not prepared to play the guessing game with them. I understand what the plan might be; list no price, and when someone walks to the front to ask you assume they are going to buy it because they are already up there. Not buying it at all; I am an individual who values his time, I am not going to wait in line or cut through the back just to say hey how much is this? Just to look like a cheap guy when putting it back after the person tells me the price. I told the manager this and he seemed to just shrug it off. I have no idea how a market can run like this without price tags on items. I must have grabbed more items than my fingers could carry searching for prices. I even asked the manager for a price and he said you have to wait in line. I understand that and I was not in line. I was asking you a question about a price. I understand if I want to buy something, I would need to wait in line but I am not for the life of me waiting in that stupid line to ask for a price. Not sure if this person thought I did not value my time or not, but I very much do. Also, the soda selection here was absolutely subpar. They barely had any diet soda at all, just like one coke zero and that is it. We also asked a man working there if they had a certain product and he said he did not know and pointed us to the register. Are you kidding me? I could not get out of there fast enough. This is definitely my last time at this store as they pretty much struck out on every level. The sad thing is I am not even listing all of the cons about my experience. This place needs a dramatic change of flow because I’m confused as to how they operate without labeling prices and expecting people to just go up to the...

I've been here twice, hoping this would turn out to be a great neighborhood butcher. It definitely caters to the local Senegalese clientele, which is great, but unfortunately it will probably not appeal to anyone else. I was shocked at the smell--the back smells like a barnyard, though I did not see any live animals. The first time I bought leg of lamb, which they sliced up to order on the bandsaw. It was fine, but quite expensive and the clerk at the cash register was not going to give me any change until I asked for my eight dollars. The second time I bought a bag of beef bones for soup (which many places don't sell, so I was thrilled). They were also fairly expensive, considering that they were just bones. When I got them home, I found that they were full of animal hair and smelled gross. I tried making broth anyway, but it was disgusting. Apparently halal does not mean good or clean butchering practices. I'll...
