I used to work on a deli. Someone ordered an eighth pound of meat (which is like nothing and nobody ever did this). My coworker asked me if that meant .8 on the scale.
That was another point of frustration. People would think if they asked for a half pound and the scale reads .6 they get a deal, but in reality it’s just printing a label that says my pounds and they gotta pay accordingly. Some customers would accuse you of ripping them off if they asked for a specific amount and got that amount exactly.
This is hilarious, I never considered people would actually think like that.
Why would they think you’re weighing it? To see if your judgement of the weight is accurate?
That’s ~50g. I wouldn’t think of ordering less than 100g of anything at a deli
(At least people in metric countries hardly need fractions)
