A Counting Mis-Steak
Me: “Hello! What can I get for you?”
Customer: “I’d like six eight-ounce filet mignon, please!”
Me: “Sure thing!”
I start wrapping the steaks individually and weighing them. They all weigh between 0.4 and 0.6 pounds, so around eight ounces.
Customer: “Woah! Those steaks are way too small. Cut me more.”
Me: “I’m sorry, miss, I thought you wanted eight-ounce steaks?”
Customer: “I do! So why does the scale say 0.5? Shouldn’t it say 0.8?”
Me: “The scale weighs in tenths of a pound, so eight ounces would be 0.5 pounds.”
Customer: *Visibly angry* “Do you even know how many ounces are in a pound?”
Me: “Yes. Sixteen. Half of sixteen is eight, so 0.5 lbs—”
Customer: “Fine! It’s fine. These will be okay, I guess.” *Storms off with the steaks*
