Hi there 🙂 I’m perplexed. 🙂 Could you please help me? I bought a bag of 6 grams, 2 of 3 grams and a 1 gram. On the 6 gram the seller’s scale and my scale differed by 2 grams. His says 6, mine says 4.1. Off by a gram on the 3 gram bags but the 1 gram was a .9. Here’s the thing: 2 other scales agreed with mine. I’m in my sixties and use this for neuropathic pain. One guy took a 100 gram weight and both his and my scale agreed. He did push a button that the scale very briefly read 154? there bouts anyway. I don’t work and can barely afford what I buy and do go into debt; I really can’t afford to be ripped off. This is a dispensary with a few shady people that have charged me 2 bucks a gram over in the past but I let that go. I’m not sure to approach the owner or not and don’t want to risk losing buying privileges and wish to approach him honestly and ethically. It’s not his honesty I’m putting into question but more perhaps the employee. How can 3 scales say the same but I’m short? Thank you so very much for your response; it is appreciated. 🙂

A $1 bill weighs a gram 1.0. So the scale should say 1.0 when you put a dollar bill on it. You can check the scales like that. People should be honest.

His scale sounds like its calibration is off. Try casually asking the owner how often the scales are calibrated and then segue that into your concern over the scales not matching yours. Hopefully, it will fix the issue and allow you a way to give vital feedback (I’d be pissed if I was being shorted) without upsetting the owner.
