Johnson's Meat Market — Local services in Picayune

Dropped off a deer for smoked sausage, the sausage we got back is EXTREMELY smokey! It has a very strong smoke smell as soon as you open the pack. The wife and I both got indigestion when we tried to eat it. The reason for this poor review is not the excessively smoked meat, but how the unprofessional blond handled the situation. The first time I stopped to speak with someone they weren't available, so the dark haired lady took my number and said the owner would call me and would make it right one way or another. Well, I never got the call. When I returned today, they immediately recognized me and said "they were very busy".

Now...when I tried to explain to the blond, (the one that took my order) she immediately caught an attitude and said "it's smoked meat, it's going to be smokey." She then proceeded to ask me if I'm an avid hunter and acted like I didn't know what I was talking about. I've been hunting 40 plus years and ALWAYS get smoked sausage and have never had sausage this smokey. All she wanted to do was argue that "smoke can't cause indigestion or heart burn". I even showed her this picture of how the sausage left smoke soot on the cutting board and it was straight out of the pack, not after I cooked it. This lady became irate and was the most unprofessional person I've ever dealt with!

I'm blown away at how this business completely blew me off, didn't even attempt to call me as they said they would, then became aggressive when I tried to speak to them. There are a 101 ways this could have been resolved professionally, but they chose to be trashy.

Horrible experience...

First time few years ago bought a cow was very good. About a year ago I purchased A quarter cow it was very tough most of the meat we gave away or cooked as soup had a wild tates. I asked the lady today about it said that it was touch she asked what kind I got I said I think grass fed whatever you had in bundle. I was told this was normal. Today I purchased a whole hog. Well... I don't think we got our money's worth. No way this was 17 pounds of sausage. i won't be returning after last two orders this was the last straw for me. It was alot of blood dried on packages appears as if someone didn't care about presentation. Also this maybe normal I am not sure the smoked ham was loose in the bags not vaccum seals. I have been getting meat from a competitor much better and they actually label everything. I hope they learn a lesson from this I am done after...
