OK, NEVER, NEVER GO HERE ON THE 1st OF THE MONTH!  I made the fatal mistake of going yesterday to pickup a small amount of meat for a BBQ on Labor Day.  When I drove up I noticed so many people outside just sitting around. and I thought maybe they were there to eat, a party maybe?  When I got the door open the place was jammed, and I do mean jammed packed!  I should have left right then and there!  But being a die hard fan of John Mull's I decided with what I needed shouldn't take too long.  What I didn't know was that all these people were getting a month's supply of meat because on the first of the month the food stamps come through.  Dumb me thought they were just getting meat for Labor Day parties!  The orders everyone were placing were HUGE, and each order needed the meat cut, wrapped and boxed.  Some people said they had been there for over 4 hours!  Now, their meat is good, but to stand around in the heat for hours, it's not that good!  I thought how long could my measly order take?  So I waited, slid, and pushed my way to the counter.  Why they don't have a TAKE A NUMBER system I have no idea, but they sure could use one.  \n\nAnyway, when I placed my order instead of just wrapping the meat and letting me pay for it,  she wrote down my order of 2 items and put it in the pile with the rest of the huge meat orders.  I decided to get some sides to go with the meat so shouldered my way to the \"hot plate\" side of the room and got some potato salad, beans, and mac and cheese.  THEIR SIDES ARE AMAZING!  I proceeded to wait about another hour and finally said I'm outta here because that's a long enough wait for anything and I have a hard time standing with these legs!  The staff was working as fast as they could go, people waiting were really nice about the situation, but it still didn't help the fact that I couldn't stand there with my potato salad in one hand and my cane in the other!  Will I go back to John Mull's?  You better believe it - just never, never on the first of the month!
