Walmart steaks? [View all]

OK I know that there are more important things to worry about but I have to ask this question after seeing this commercial for the last few weeks.

If you were eating at a fine dinning establishment and just finished a steak, and this person comes up to you and ask how you liked the steak and you answered "it was very delicious" then he proceeds to tell you that you just ate a Walmart steak WHAT WOULD YOU DO??

If you do not shop there and absolutely did not want to support them would you or could you sue the b@sturds?

I just really can not believe they could really do it?

If I want a Walmart steak I would go to Walmart not to a fine dinning establishment.
