well in this case, this shop isn't a bulk_purchase=yes shop
bulk_purchase=* in osm mean that you can BUY item in bulk
not that the shop has a stock of product that he packs for you on site.
bulk_purchase informs how the customer can have the product and not in 
what form the stock in the shop is kept

PS: I think your butcher is outdated, I haven't seen any refusals
for at least 2 years :) including in Carrefour-like shop
