In For A Penny, In For 1.02 Pounds

Customer: “I’ll take a pound of ham.”

I put it on the scale, measure it out, and bag it up. The customer snatches the bag and then whips out their own mini-scale from their bag!

Customer: “If you conned me, you’ll be in trouble!”

They place the bag of ham on their scale, and it comes out to 1.02 pounds.

Me: “Oh, thanks! My scale must need to be recalibrated. I’ll make sure you get less ham next time, don’t worry!”

The customer scowled at me and was about to open their mouth to say something, but then they thought better of it and just stormed off.

I mean, who brings in their own scale?!
