.044 kg of meat

This morning I went to a local grocery store to buy some meat (pork, beef and chicken) and some vegetables. As I’ve arrived there I was third on the queue, then I saw this (rich acting) lady who arrogantly orders her meat from the butcher and as I have my turn I’ve noticed that she wanted her pork be on the exact weight. But in buying meat there is no exact weight there is always a discrepancy of .050-.10 kg.She asked for 1.5kg of sliced pork belly but the cut given to her was around 1.61 kg which made her a bit irritated,she asked the butcher to cut one piece of the sliced pork but the butcher told her that it can’t be done because of the grocery policy then she insisted to get her a smaller piece.After that she ordered 1.5kg pork ribs from another guy from different stall and the whole rib weighed at 1.448 kg then asked the guy to chopped it to her desired cut.Upon receiving the bag of ribs the lady doubted that the weight was right so she asked the other staff to weigh it again but this time the scale tips at 1.404 so there’s a difference of .044.The lady got mad and asked the other staff why is it that less ?And the staff have the same answer that when the whole portion of meat was chopped there is a very minimum portion of that meat that were eliminated from the chopping block like the saw dust from the bones and some ligaments/fats.Until the time that I left the area the said lady still argues with the staff and even scolded the guy who weighed the said ribs.

My point here is how greedy a man can be ?With the micro portion of meat an individual can create such a big distress to another person.A mere grocery employee is defenseless against a difficult customer that can also cost him his job.As I witnessed this my heart melts and felt really sad.
