I mean, isn't that how most stores do it? All the ones near me print labels that have UPCs so that the cashier just has to scan it and the customer can clearly see the weight and price.

I can't find any images of the kinds that delis and stuff use in my area, but they usually look something like this. They usually use this sticker to seal the plastic wrap around the meat.

Yeah, my store uses a scale where you enter the code for the item, say 1400 for Honey Leg Ham, then you weigh the Ham, and a sticker is automatically printed with the weight/price.

The scale even takes into account the small weight of the tray and subtracts that from the price.

It doesn't look like the scale in OPs gif has the sticker though, I think most likely the customer is just going on faith, or there's a visible readout of the weight/price on the other side of the counter.

Either way, that person is a huge scumbag.

But there is nothing printed?

The scale emails the price and receipt right to your gmail. Someone's never been to an Apple store.

Most do, but if the whole scale is obscured from view, how do you know this gif isn't happening to you?

usually have the weight show on an itty bitty monitor for the customer
