Okay, in keeping with my thread about whether it's cheating to throw refrigerator drawers that you left behind in with your next load of shred, what about yard scales?
Bugs me when I pull onto the scale and the readout bobs between two weights that are 20 pounds apart. Does my loaded truck weigh 8320 or does it weigh 8340? When I leave and it bobs between 7640 and 7660, what was the real weight? With a 20 pound variance in either direction on both ends of the transaction I could be underpaid (or overpaid!) by up to 40 pounds.
I'd feel more comfortable if we weighed in and out and there were digits other than zeroes at the end of the weight figures.
