When I was living in the USA I was grocery shopping at a supermarket.
They had a large sign – "Specials on all Meat Sausages".
I grabbed the pork and the beef and proceeded to the checkout.
The pork was discounted but not the beef.
When I asked why, the lady told me, “You have to read the sign properly – it says MEAT sausages ONLY”.
I asked what is classified as meat.
She explained, pork is meat and chicken is meat but that beef is beef!
I even bought it up to customer service manager who told me the same thing.
Worst still was another customer standing by the customer service desk tried explaining to me too.
So me not being an American, who doesn’t know English as well as an American……well, just gave up the beef beef sausages and settled for "Pork meat" ones only!!
True story. No kidding!
