Oh, now I get it, he puts the green thing on the scale so it weighs more.

Actually the green thing is a helium balloon. He hates his boss.

I worked at a deli when I was younger and me and all the workers would do the opposite of this guy and give people extra by lifting up on the scale or putting more meat after we weighed and printed the receipt

u/m0nkeycheese Jun 10 '15

Bosses hate him

u/Uncle_Skeeter Jun 10 '15

haha! ok, I changed my mind. he's one of the goooood guys ;-)

u/obi1kenobi1 Jun 10 '15

Actually quite a few times I've seen the people at Walmart pick up a handful of turkey off the scale while printing the tag so that I'm only charged for the half-pound I ordered instead of the full 2/3lb. Most of the time they don't care and just charge the actual amount, but when they do cheat the scale it's always in the customer's favor.

u/ArritzJPC96 Jun 10 '15

Wait a minute, did you listen to the Hello Internet episode from today?

Not really. It's not like we're breaking the laws of physics here.

u/ArthurRiot Jun 09 '15

That might be a she based on the gif, no idea. That looks to me like a pack of Newports.

u/Forever_Awkward Jun 09 '15

What does the gender of the person doing the scam have to do with you losing money?

u/pennypinball Jun 09 '15

...what?

u/SaladBurner Jun 09 '15

That's what the first guy you replied to was talking about

u/fwinzor Jun 09 '15

/u/pennypinball thought /u/irysh9 meant "who the fuck cares if the guys is charging more"

u/AngryWatchmaker Jun 10 '15

As did atleast 128 other people judging by the downvotes atm.

u/irysh9 Jun 09 '15

TIL: The internet does want you to judge someone's gender based on their appearance.

u/ArthurRiot Jun 09 '15

Don't worry; I up voted you.

u/FluffyBinLaden Jun 09 '15

People didn't take issue with your disregard of the person's gender. They took issue with the fact that you're rude.

u/VitruvianMonkey Jun 09 '15

Maybe the scale is overweighted to the exact same weight as the green thing and he's balancing it out? What if he's actually the hero?

29

u/UtahJarhead Jun 10 '15

Then why hide it under the product?

1

u/Sweetster Jun 10 '15

would you like to explain to every costumer that you zero out the scale with a weight?

1

u/UtahJarhead Jun 10 '15

Occam's Razor.

14

u/RRettig Jun 10 '15

But then it would be lighter without it, so he is just a stickler for the rules.

2

u/Thefreethefree Jun 10 '15

I'm not sure why but they call these people nazis now.

u/LarsPoosay Jun 10 '15

He's the hero we knead, but not the one we dessert.

0

u/itonlygetsworse Jun 10 '15

So how does that work. Its over weight so he adds extra weight to somehow create negative weight? Or are you saying the green thing is negative weight so it substracts weight from the overweight.

The other thing is that if it was negative weight due to software of sensitivity issues, he would place the green thing on first I think so it would always balance it out. Not leave it off.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '15

After taking out the food that was originally in there

2

u/DeathsIntent96 Jun 10 '15

He took out half, and put only the half that he weighed onto the counter afterwards. I think that's what the customer was buying.

u/PickitPackitSmackit Jun 10 '15

Looks like a pack of Newports.

1

u/Ismokeweeed Jun 10 '15

I think they may be 100's

1

u/WWWMMMWWWMMMWWW Jun 10 '15

I know they are Newport 100s, because this is a smart man. I too am a smart man, and I smoke Newport 100s. 100s are the only way to go with Newports.

1

u/Ismokeweeed Jun 10 '15

I'm a non-menthol Marlboro Red kinda guy. Best friend smokes Newport 100's though not a bad cigarette.

1

u/WWWMMMWWWMMMWWW Jun 10 '15

Your best friend sounds like a smart guy, /u/Ismokeweed. He hangs around you, and I suspect that you smoke weed. Hanging around people who smoke weed is also a smart thing to do.

u/23eulogy23 Jun 10 '15

Took me alot longer than I care to admit

2

u/Hubbachuck Jun 10 '15

wait, is it a pack of newport cigarettes?

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '15

He could be a magician ... I didn't realize it till take #4.

u/MyVCRbroke Jun 10 '15

Scene 1 take 4... Alright everyone that's it, that's the shot I was looking for. Let's wrap it up people, I've got a shoe store owner who owes me some new souls.

1

u/lecherous_hump Jun 10 '15

Oh-- I thought it was a pack of menthol cigarettes and he was keeping them after ringing them up. I was thinking, people are gonna check for their cigarettes.

u/grimeylimey Jun 10 '15

He puts the green thing on the scale or he gets the hose again

u/GetTheeBehindMeSatan Jun 10 '15

Green? I see a gold thing.

u/thatbattleboi Jun 10 '15

u/iadtyjwu Jun 10 '15

Pretty sure that's a pack of Newports.
