what do u think?

i try to set up a 20gal long shrimp tank
so i went to lfs and bought 5 pieces of driftwood
sign says 7.99 per pound
when i brought them to cashier , she weighted one by one
first one was 0.51lb - she charged as 1lb
second one was 1.81lb - she charged as 2lbs
so i asked if she can put all together and weight them all at once,
she said no , i bought them anyway cuz i need them
but i came home weighted them , it was 4.8lb in total
they look bigger in pic but im gonna put all in 20gal long, they not that big and excatly 4.8lbs...
do u think it is fair or it is bad?

You paid for 6.0 lbs and got 4.8 lbs. Do you really need an opinion other than your own?

cashier said she need to charge one by one , and that store charge 0.51 lb as 1 lb
that makes sense too
but yes i hate that store now , i try not to go there anymore

If they say that they are selling the wood by weight then they should sell it by weight. Not by weight plus some extra that they feel like throwing in there to rip you off. I would complain, did you try contacting a manager?

I'm pretty sure any business that sells anything by the pound is subject to that city's Weights and Measures regulations. You should contact that department in your town and find out what the law is.

The cashier is an unthinking idiot. I know the place in question, and know the owner pretty well and would never expect such a situation. The only problem at your end is that you left the store with it. I would still say something to management and to Ziggy directly if you can.

I would take the wood back, ask to speak to a manager and get my 16+ dollars back.

Manager, not facebook.

Manager, not facebook.

+1, facebook is used for advertising purposes mainly and to keep customers up to date on sales, etc. Not for problems such as these, you need to go into the store with your receipt and explain to a manager what happened.
