The sign said ribeye steaks, and the butcher agreed. I don’t think they are right. Any way these can be ribeyes?

Strips. The ribeyes appear to be two over to the right.

No, they are strip loin. Aka NY Strip

They aren’t. That sign is wrong.

Either way, can I get one

Definitely NY strip

Nope. Yanks call them strips. I (Aussie) would call that a sirloin. There are ribeyes there, a couple over on the right.

Most chain grocery stores don’t have true butchers, they have meat cutters and clerks. I was a clerk for about two years and was on my way to be a cutter but it is hard work and most are idiots. My boss was a true butcher and hated how it was changing.
Point being, you were probably talking to some kid who had no clue and got moved to be a meat clerk or a meat cutter who was high.

Assuming this is a Kroger(or Kroger affiliate) based on the case cards. The two signs are switched. The pan in the left is ribeye and has a strip steak sign. Clerk just didn’t know the difference and just agreed with the tags their leader put out.

It’s a strip. Calling that guy a butcher is a stretch.

They really like the word wagyu

That place doesn’t have a butcher

Definitely a strip. It’s a duplicate of the proper ribeyes to the right. Good quality strips though.

The butcher or the meat clerk that is closing up shop with squinty eyes?

Those are New York Strip steaks. The butcher is lying to you and to everyone else. They’re lovely looking strip steaks, but they are absolutely strip steaks.

They could be ribeyes with the cap removed since that’s now a more popular separate cut and the best part of a ribeye
The top 3-4 remind me of a ribeye cut because they have that ribeye tail
Still could be a strip with the classic strip sidewall, but just to offer an opposing view since the butcher did cut it and is telling you it’s ribeye not mislabeled

There’s ribeye to the right this looks like strip. Pretty solid steaks though.
Rjskill3ts21
Those are straight up strip steaks

It’s a NY. The Ribeye’s are 3 to the right.
DetonateTheVestibule
That ain’t wagyu either
Dulce_suenos
Those are strips, and not likely Wagyu, either.
YaronYarone
Definitely New York strips. Ribeye in the picture too over to the right, but you can tell them apart clearly in the picture
honeybadger1984
NY and these aren’t Wagyu. Looks like choice level

They ain’t rib eyes. Can’t believe a butcher doesn’t know what NY strips look like.

Not wagyu

I had this happen at a new “locally sourced” butcher shop that opened near me. I was excited to try them out. When I walked in no meats were labeled with what they were or prices which was an immediate red flag for me. The cases were only about 1/3 filled, I looked around for a few for ribeye but they only had strip. Then the owner asked if he could help and I said I wanted ribeye but they didn’t have any. Then he tried to sell me the strips as ribeye saying that’s how ribeyes are shaped. Never went back.

It’s not ribeye and it’s not Wagyu.

Strip steaks, doubt he’s a butcher
It’s strip. They wrong you right
Find a new “butcher”
Wagyu must be Japanese for ordinary.
