Re:No thank you – I age them myself…

Please let your moment of sympathy pass. The really nice guy talks, gives advice and has been pleasant for the years that we have done business with the store. He will receive a piece of the aged ribeye when it is ready. He is interested in what we are doing.
The other one–completely different story. After our first exchange which was not antagonistic, he later ignored us on a later shopping excursion. The friendly guy came over and we bought some really good filets.

As far as the aged ribeyes, they were about 1 1/4″ thick and vacuum packed. They were shipped from Chicago pre-packaged. They were okay, but not as expected. I don’t know which came first–the aging or the trim.

There is plenty of “old money” in the area, so the store has a good business and we continue to wish them well.
