I've never understood the yards that are rude to the people putting food on their tables. Whether the load you're buying is big or small, piss enough people off and you go hungry.
Tj - One quick example. We hate cans. It's the absolute worst part of the job. They're just downright disgusting. Furthermore it's where we get cheated the most. Rocks, water, other metal, I've seen it all from a dead chicken to a gallon sized freezer bag of marijuana. And no one ever knows how it got in there. We won't tell you how much we hate them because then we sound unappreciative of your business. But the reality is it's not the 50 lbs of cans we want but the 10 lbs of other stuff you'll bring with it. We remember the people that have dry, clean cans and the ones we're gonna have to check every time.
blacksteel - Why are you selling blind? You should never agree to that. As a seller you should know of your rights as much as the buyers. I'm not 100 percent sure but I think it's against the law to not have your scale weight visible to the seller, at least in my state. Most systems wont let you punch a ticket until the scale balances out. We do have a tendency to try and rush you through, if there's 10 people behind you the reason is kind of obvious, no one behind you? We're more relaxed, but still want to be as fast as possible because there's always something else we need to do as well, inventory, load a shipment, paperwork. It's a hectic place, I agree. Hectic or not, the yard should always allow you to clearly see a weight.
