I feel sorry for you poor bastards, you just wouldn't be able to get by in life without big government holding your little hand Grin

if business didn't continuously try to find ways to screw the consumer there would be no need for hand holding. You ever own a business? When was the last time you calibrated your scales?

Like I said, you just can't look after yourself, you need big brother.

You are unable to recognise and deal with an honest proprieter.
You are unable to check your purchase is what you paid for.

And worst of all you put your trust in idiot government and its worse than useless bureaucrats instead of trusting your own judgement Grin

honest proporietor? Grin

there's no such thing

The breaches included coles and woolies. Do you check your measurement when you go to woolies?

and why the hell should I check the weights at home? If I buy a packet that says 500g, it should be 500g. No need to check.

Quote:

The National Measurement Institute issued 3962 non-compliance notices last year, 13 per cent more than 2013-14, and imposed 98 fines totalling $92,650, with 51 per cent of them for short measures.

3962 cases of non-compliance and only 98 fines averaging less than $1000 each? How can anyone say that's adequate?

Do you know what a machine is called that records a 1Kg weigh as 995g? NONCOMPLIANT. they arent fined. They are told to recalibrate as these things do go 'off' over time. Also, you can hardly call that a rip-off.

Never thought this through, did you?

If consumers themselves aren't checking to make sure they are not getting ripped off them maybe they deserve to get ripped off Grin

Perhaps we could take our own scales shopping. Huh

Scales are already provided in the shops as per the law

so when you pick up a packet of 500g mince, you walk to the fruit section and weigh it?

Liar. Cheesy

yes you can.... there is no law saying you cannot... Roll Eyes

meat is pretty much by machine now...its weighed and the label printed at the same time....if you go to the deli.. same thing...very little is manual today....

at the checkout your fruit and veg is weighed again my the machine.....its not rocket science...

what this is about is truck loads of sand or wood..

which cannot be measured by anyone.....

of course if the you were charged for 500g and received 600 grams would you tell them??>.. Roll Eyes

we hear about those that measure under.. but I am sure their are some that measure over....scales are more accurate than they have ever been.....no chewy under the bowl anymore.. Wink

Funny... mania goes on about how educated middle class private school 'she' is, but says she'll be claiming the pension.... why do I doubt every word from her cyber-mouth?

Changed story? Right from the start I said we are investigating STARTING a business. So try and occasionally keep up.

and are you prepared to pay for the man power that will go into doing that??

I dont know how many shops we have in this country...could it be a million...with more than one set of scales..... Roll Eyes

like I said I do believe they are working on making scales as accurate as is humanly possible......

and I dont believe its all deliberate tampering with scales like it used to be....either... I believe we have more honest people out there than dishonest... and I prefer to think like that..
