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’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)
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?
