Avril Bleh Meat Market

We've been going to Avril Bleh for 40 years since the 80's. We feel this review is long coming. We support small town Cincinnati businesses. We have enjoyed Avril Bleh Meats for their home made products. We visit 2-4 times a year to stock up our chest freezer. Sadly, over the past 10 years, long before the pandemic, the butchers behind the counter have been rude when we ask questions, (not attributable to a busy Sat), or ignore our questions about their homemade meats. This happened again today. My husband stopped going into ABM many years ago after been ignored and rude to him many times. As business owners ourselves, repeat business is the cornerstone to good business. I now only go into ABM when I absolutely must restock our freezer and order many items at a time to freeze. My husband was speaking with me on my head set of my cell, when in their shop today, Thursday, May 31st at 2pm. The butcher gave me no eye contact when answering my questions for ordering a lunchmeat new to me, that they make in house. I asked if it has pepper in it? His non committal response was rude. He gave no eye contact & snorted, 'it's Italian lunchmeat'. I wanted to walk out. I payed for my many items ordered. I told the butcher, he was rude. I stated I don't even want their products and will give it to the homeless. This rudeness has gone on too many time to count in the past. Today was final straw. No one has this many bad days from so many butchers behind their counter. We have recommended Avril Bleh Meats for 25 years to our customers, many are P&G & GE engineers & product managers, new to the city. Sadly, we will never recommend ABM them to our many clients in our "Welcome Wagon" sheets again along side Eckerlin meats. We will never darken their doors again. We do not recommend Avril Bleh Meats. They are as disgraceful to us, as Pete was to our city. This thorny rose STINKS.
