"Rhubarb sticks are quite long and hang off the end of the scale so they were actually underweighing. Now we break them in two before putting them on the scales." Methinks someone doesn't fully grasp how gravity works. Unless there's something near the scales that the protruding Rhubarb was clinging on to this doesn't make a lot of sense.

They raised her chair so that her boobs don't press on the scale any more? Why don't they simply advice the cashier to wear a proper bra? :)

Maybe they should just tare the scale with the melons.

At the stores here there's quite often a bit of counter space on either side of the scale, so they can slide the produce on without having to lift it. Overhanging produce would rest on the counter and affect the reading on the scale. Cheers, Drew.
Yes, I have seen many stores where the scale is built into and level with the counter. The scale is only about 5 inches square, which works well for small items, but wouldn't work properly for larger items.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

With what I tend to look at, I think I would have caught that mistake right away. :-O

A customer at the unnamed branch raised the alarm after she was charged almost £2 for a pepper that should have cost 79 pence, the Daily Mail reports.
Ah, that explains it.

Me too. But probably I wouldn't have complained but bought some more stuff. :)

Perhaps if they'd let her work topless, the offending appendages would simply rest on her knees, safely out of harm's way, far from the scale.

See? If checkout staff were topless, such mistakes would be notice immediately! But no-one signed my petition!

Not necessarily...have you ever stepped on a bathroom scale (or the type of scale used for weighing people in a doctor's office)? Assuming you have, now lean to the far right/left/front/back and notice how the weight changes slightly (even after it settles from the movement)... most scales are innaccurate unless the object being weighed are centered and not moving. I participaged in sports for nearly ~15 years being weighed at least once a week...there are a LOT of ways to cheat a scale.

Hmmm. I had no idea that there was such a Rhubarb-Scales Impedance Mismatch. As the man said on leaving the chiropractor...."I stand corrected." And their solution is to break the Rhubarb in half? What happens when the customer says.. "I'm not paying full price for that...it's broken"? Perhaps they should arrange for well endowed female cashier's to process Rhubarb sales....to cancel things out. -Richard
