Rookies, fresh from training and eager to please, they are the perfect victims for hazing. Meat cutters are trained to cut and wrap meat but in this case they’re not all well taught in the metric unit of weight.
Phone call to the meat department…
RING! RING! RING!
Rookie Cutter – Hello! This is Wyatt in the meat dept. How can I help you?
Me – Hey! Can I order 1 TON of the T-bone steaks for Saturday?
Rookie Cutter – Sure! Would you like an extra TON of fresh marinade chicken as well? Its on sale!
Me – (Flustered) Uh umm.. no thanks..
Rookie Cutter – Alrighty! See you Saturday!
The meat department manager saw the invoice for the order and said, “Who’s the idiot that put this order in!?”
1 ton is like a truckload of meat but to this meat cutter it must only be a few pounds...

That is too funny! Thanks for sharing!
Hey you should have told him you wanted to order 2000 pounds of T-bone…wonder what he would have said? I wonder if he would have been so quick to offer the chicken??? the meathead meat cutter lol
That’s hilarious, a ton is 2000 lbs, I’m not sure if that store can hold 2000 lbs of meat!
You’re lucky Wyatt doesn’t do the ordering, or he might have asked for enough to fill the order!
Oh my gosh, I’m totally cracking up!
