Saint Louis style spare ribs cut ???

[SoCal Smoke]

I have bought the PRE-CUT Saint Louis style spare ribs from Costco and WinCo and both had the rib-tips still attached ??? Am I missing something...or is the Saint Louis cut have the rib-tips CUT off of the spare rib ???? It seems that both stores are just cutting the whole spare rib in half to sell more ribs ?

Most I get have the rib tips. Especially a local place that cuts their own and folds them over into a tray pack. I swear the hogs must be over 500 pounds they get them off of.

It sucks when half of the rib is RIB TIPS..... I should have known to bend them first to see if they were a cut with the tips still on as they were packed solo. My bad , I will just buy the whole spare rib from now on and trim it myself as the stores seem to cut them wrong.

Cheaper per pound by the whole spare too.
