The government records show that in the past even the single errors have been enormous. In 2005, the Sabzi Mandi store was found shortchanging customers by 22 per cent.
At Richmond BBQ, if a customer bought four pounds of meat the scale would read that they would purchase 15.
And it's not just the little stores. The Oakridge Safeway didn't fix its scales three times after failing inspections -- and in 2006 one scale was found to be off by 22 per cent.
