Noticed the younger guys skipping hand-cut steaks these days

I've been in the shop 30 years and used to cut ribeyes by hand every morning. Now most of the new guys I see just want to order pre-portioned boxes from the supplier, says it saves time but the fat cap is always off by half an inch. Has anyone else had luck teaching the old way to apprentices?

Nah, pre-cut steaks save time and waste less meat if the supplier knows their stuff.

You know what, that's a fair point I hadn't considered.
