Just hit “#” on your “weigh” out.

Sounds like Doug Adams description of Bethselamin in “The Guide”.

Meanwhile, he’ll bulk up.

I would never purchase items from an open bulk bin, so unsanitary!!!

Bulk foods eh. Looks like bear has to pays a visit there.

You just TRY to leave!!

Suddenly I need to use the restroom.

What is that gunk suppose to be? Looks like dog food or at best oatmeal!

I think charging customers by their weight is a great idea. In the US you could make a fortune doing that.

Great idea but not such a big deal.

Most all the grocery stores where I live are ‘’old school’‘. I remember stores in NC that always seemed to have someone offering samples of their products. I don’t see that happening here.

If I pass by the bakery department pounds leap onto my hips.

The Incredible Bulk…

That’s a good idea.

“Stand-up comic, Kellen Erskine once said: In the healthy stores— I go to that aisle of barrels and scoop the most expensive granola into the cheapest granola barrel! … I’m the Robinhood of Whole Foods! (˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

PS: I like how he says: when you “try” to leave! (˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

Come in with a 3 lb. piece of useless junk hidden and discard it while in the store…

I graze at my supermarket too…

When I was a kid the local orchard would let you pick strawberries directly from the fields. They would also allow you to eat directly from the fields as well. My mom would tell them when we checked out “You need to weigh the kids before they pick and after they pick!”

The Bulk foods are glutton free.

Ah, what do you mean by try to leave, are we captive?

The customers go through a gain and a gain.

“Bulk foods” have gone away since Covid struck. Those days are gone.

Oy!

I’m told that is an actual policy applied to the waitstaff at a particular restaurant that serves all-you-can-eat family style dinners.

I’d weally wike to go to a store where you get weighed twice.

This isn’t such a bad idea!

maybe the supermarket where my wife works should try that approach with the customers who grab food and drinks off the shelf and settle in for a free chow down. they seem so confused when informed that they actually need to pay for what they’re consuming… ☺
