Illichmann's Sausage Shop Ltd - Calgary

I only go there for one specific item. They are not open Monday inconvenient so I went there Tuesday opening hours are at 900 Am at 915 door was still not open. I decided to bang on the window since I drove a ways to pick up the item. It took a while before they opened the door. Luckily I was able to see people through the window so I knew someone was there but they surly did not rush to open the door. Also not sure if owners are new but employees are of a certain culture different from before and not very friendly. Luckily I only go there once a year

It's a pretty good place to buy meat, and there's Hispanic cashiers too

Our go to butcher shop. We love to get fresh pepperoni sticks and the super convenient freezer packs.

I was spending $80+ per week here, but I haven't returned for months.The last time I went there, I witnessed a female staff member handle raw meat, then proceed to wipe her **** gloves with a bloodstained cloth and then proceed to handle cooked meat.I asked her nicely to change gloves, and she did, but she seemed very annoyed at having to do so.The owners are present everyday from opening to closing. If this staff member felt she had done something wrong, she would have responded differently. She would have apologized for her mistake. The fact that she responded the way she did, indicates to me that the owners must approve of how she handles meat.If anyone has ever watched an episode of Kitchen Nightmares, you know how dangerous it can be when raw meat and cooked meat cross contaminate.The staff should be changing gloves every single time when they switch from handling raw meat to cooked meat.

Don’t buy chorizo. We bought it twice and both times we found blue plastic in it. Not eatable! They were quite big. The woman at the front didn’t really say or do anything when we told her about it. We even showed her a picture. Unacceptable.
