Did you bring your own scale to check the weights or are you just guessing that they were a pound more?

Seems pretty easy to compare if there are other correctly labeled packages.

Also, grocery stores have public scales in the produce dept, and the staff have scales in the deli.

I was mostly kidding about using visual inspection of packages to say that a scale that has a weights and measures seal is inaccurate, but that doesn't translate well in text. I am very familiar with scales, markets, and the weights and measures department.

Several things. First, the packages labelled for a pound of fish contained what appeared to be about the same amount of fish. Second, holding both packages, you could tell they weighed about the same, and one wasn't double the other. Third, as /u/sparr suggested, I checked against the produce scale. Finally, I had the cashier weigh them on their scales.

Yeah, they most likely left a second package on the scale while they weighed a few and were too lazy to notice or fix it
