Look, sometimes the thing just wasn't that important to begin with. The urgency was real in the moment, but that need passed. Calling it a lack of value is wrong, it's more like the situation changed. They got what they needed from it when they needed it, and holding onto that feeling after the fact isn't how people work. The bill feels invisible because the high-stakes problem it solved is already gone.

Always a bigger issue later? Really?

Wait, selling untrimmed cuts as a premium option now? That's wild to me, but I guess it makes sense if everyone else is cutting all the flavor away. It's just sad that what used to be normal is now some special, expensive thing. People forgot how to cook with good fat and now they have to pay extra to learn again.
