Hot take: I was dead set against selling frozen trim until an old timer at the shop called me out

For 2 years I tossed or ground every scrap of trim at close because I figured frozen meat meant cheap meat and I wasn't running a discount counter. Then a guy who ran a shop in Kansas City for 30 years asked me one question: why am I throwing away money to protect a reputation nobody actually questioned? Now I bag it fresh, date it, and sell it at $3.99 a pound, and it moves faster than my ribeyes. Anyone else here change their stance on frozen, and what flipped it for you?
