My local fruit and veg store underwent a refurbishment

Before the work began I asked the owner if he was going to include shop floor scales for the customers to use.
He assured me yes.
Guess what? No customer scales. Which means that those products that are sold by weight, the customer does not know how much it will be until they get to the checkout.
Large Watermelons can weigh 20 pounds, 9 kg, which at $2 per kilo is a lot of money.
Just another way businesses force one to pay more than they can afford.
A shop floor scale would see some people not buy certain items.

Perhaps if you keep taking items like that to the checkout and ask them to weigh before you are planning to pay they will get fed up and install some scales.
