[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Harris Teeter near me took the scale out of its produce aisle which I found annoying but didn’t realize it was required. Thanks OP[/quote]

So how do they sell fruits?
Do they make the bananas in one pounds or the cashiers have scales?[/quote]

Even if the cashiers have scales, how does that resolve the issue for people buying specifically for a recipe? Do they ask the cashier to weigh several items and then discard the ones that don’t measure up? How do people feel about being stuck in line behind the person comparing four kabocha squash?[/quote]

Leftovers go into the stock pot. Not sure why this is so difficult. Fruit and vegetables aren't sold in integer weights. You can't buy exactly 3 pounds of tomatoes without a knife or going through all the tomatoes.[/quote]

Not sure why you're so obtuse. It's pretty easy to weight bulky produce to get the quantity you need. Tomatoes and potatoes and apples and peaches vary in size so a recipe calling for four pounds of tomatoes for a sauce or soup you just try a few different tomatoes till you get the quantity you need. I do this all the time. This one is too big, put it back and get this other one that's slightly smaller and voila, four pounds. Same with potatoes. Same with apples for making apple pies.

I cook all the time. Never bother with stock pots and rarely have produce go to waste. [/quote]
