Weight scales in grocery stores?

Question

Our local grocery store (Publix) has a big weight scale in the front. When we are paying for groceries, I watch people constantly get on the scale and ooh, and ah their weight.

I find this entertaining and amusing. The highest weight I have ever seen is about 150 pounds.

When ever I get a chance (like today) I will ask them to let me show them MY weight on the scale (I have been strength training for 21 years, not a bodybuilder, I have strength and some mass).

It is like a Master Card moment for me. I get on the scale, it climbs up to 284 POUNDS. They are stunned. You are so heavy! But you do not look heavy at all!!

Cheap thrills, but it is a hoot, especially at my age. 54.

For me, life is good.

Answer 1

That's good!

I always weigh myself whenever I see one. But it's stuck at 105lbs...

Answer 2

i does no longer imagine that they lie. I stay in Cleveland Ohio and each and every time I step on a scale that is often between 118 and 122 even if i'm on the docs or on the community food market. in case you imagine that those close on your position are off scale come across a fashion to attempt their accuracy. in case you position 5 kilos of Apples on the dimensions and it says 15 kilos then you surely recognize it isn't precise. If some thing those scales might want to be rigged to say you weightlower than you actually are so that you come back in and purchase extra food without feeling like you want to drop some pounds(and therefor purchase a lot less).

Answer 3

That scale mostly only registers 150 pounds, you say.
Where can I get one of those suckers!?!

Answer 4

man i hate when you are walking around in a mall,and found weighing machines,and my Dad wants to pay and found out his weight,that irritates me.

Answer 5
