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?

Beats me. It's not like we were taking money at the deli counter either. Also the labels say how much weight there is, price per pound, and the total price. Just like meat from the meat department would. But I guess because they're asking for it in person they think it works differently.
