To whom do I report a MD grocery store without a scale?

[Anonymous]

Hmmm good question I would start with the county health department with food safety people or code enforcement of food establishments, maybe they can point you to the right direction.

I always found the scales in the produce department were vague indicators of the weight anyway. Like, useful for telling you if you have 1 pound or 4 pounds, but not for telling you if you have .9 pounds or 1.1 pounds.

Do you have any non-AI sources?

Agree, a lot of the AI stuff that is generated when I search for stuff is terribly flawed.

Good for you. Sales often limit the number of lbs you can buy at the reduced price. For people trying to maximize what they can get on a budget, that is important information.

If you always buy up to the limit, you are probably eating too much

What??
If Giant has cherries for 2.99 limit 5lbs then I need to make sure I'm with that weight for sale.

I personally am not eating all 5lbs of cherries...its called having a family who would like to eat food.

Not sure they can enforce a lb limit without a working scale for u to use.

Grok gave the same result. I don't care enough to look for a definitive answer to this question. But, IMO, three LLM's saying it isn't required is enough reason to drop the unsupported assumption that it is required.

IMO 3 LLMs are pulling from the same useless sources. However, I actually agree that I didn't think it was a law

I would submit something to the police personally. My friend in Fairfax ran into something like that in their Harris Teeter. Told the police and it turns out they were cooking meth in the back of the store! It was a highschooler iirc. Bad stuff!
