I remember we weighed our own vegetables in Norway in the 90s. It stopped when they got the fancy registers which scanned barcodes and had a built-in scale.
I hope they don't change it here. I like weighing my own stuff. Nicer to check how much I got and no need to remember what sort of tomatoes I got since the number is in the price tag. And no way for the cashier to fuck me over by weighing them as a pricier thing.
Spanish tomatoes for the price of Finnish ones? Get the fuck out of here! What do I look like, fucking Croesus??
You've presumably had registers with barcodes for several decades now, so I'm guessing your way of weighing produce is pretty safe.
