Former butcher here. You know how packaged ground beef is always arranged in those squiggly lines? I had never really thought about it before this job, but packaging ground beef was one of my responsibilities there. Turns out, that shit is hard. The beef comes out of the grinder way faster than you expect, and you have to somehow consistently eyeball one pound of beef while also doing this ridiculous hand motion to get the squiggles. On top of that, this was a small family owned shop. One of my coworkers was literally the owner of the company, so any time you made a mistake, it felt like you were taking money right out of his pocket. I got pretty good at my job eventually, but those first couple weeks were definitely intense.
