and i dont mean some antique.  

a digital scale that you have to enter the amount to tare...  why wouldnt it auto tare to zero and not be a pain in my ass?

because you dont really have the time to go to the scale first to weigh empty containers, then go get your stuff, then return to the scale, re-weight, then tare,

then print your ticket.

prepared item and deli items come in containers.  do you want me to plop meatballs on the scale?  no you want me to tare the weight of every container, manually.

am i supposed to be a fortuneteller of container weights?  someone has either got to make a list of container weights, program the scale, or tell me where i am supposed 

to find container weights.

well with these scales you have to be in a menu that lets you weigh, like for instance

you cant be in the menu with different types of food you have to select, "cold sides" or"fried tenderloins" on the screen,

and then it will either be a by pound type of food or a set price type of food.  for example 5 jalapeno poppers is $3.

but a pound of mac n cheese is a $1.85, so you have to weigh it in a container.

if you weigh something in a screen of a selected item, it prints a ticket for that amount, because the only thing you are allowed to weigh in that menu, is mac and cheese

so you have to put it in the container first, and then weigh, and manually tare a .09 or a .04, it just depends on the container, but

i dont know the weights (there are probably ten or fifteen different containers) and it isnt something i can keep getting by

But shouldn't the customer be being charged for the cost of the container?  Or is that presumably built into the cost of each item?

im just going to have to bring every empty container with me to the scale and make my own list or go into wherever they store the deliveries and look if it says on the boxes.

it might even say somewhere on the container but ive been so busy.
