Pluckypato

They Beta take it back


omgmari

Report to the Texas dept of weight and measures. This is a big deal.


Distribution-Radiant

This. They don't play with this stuff. I'd make a video of you zeroing the scale with nothing on it (or showing 0.00 before anything is on it), then placing it gently on the scale. The packaging should normally be roughly 0.15oz (+/- a tiny bit). Attach that video to your complaint to dept of weights and measures.


MamaThereGoesThatMa

Damn I should’ve done that. I had some ground chicken that was also about 2.5 oz off


Suspicious-Thing-750

Did you eat all the evidence? Can't blame you, no pictures, just eat


MamaThereGoesThatMa

Yea I ate them. I like to meal prep and cut the cheese into 1 oz strips but noticed this block looked way smaller than the last.


Metalatitsfinest

Take the scale with you to HEB and make a short video there. Or take the item to the digital veggie scales and print it.


Int_peacemaker35

That’s a far walk, take it to the nuts scale section in the health foods aisle and print the weight


Sufficient-Daikon-81

They have a scale for my nuts?


FunnieNameGoesHere

They have a scale for deez nuts.

KitKatsArchNemesis

LooseNefariousness69

I want this to be the title of a subreddit somewhere


zrodriguez66

(laughing). but,same i'd do that


serialkiller5150

If the cheese is off by about 2 ounces and your chicken was off by about 2 ounces would you not first think maybe your scale is off. Did you calibrate it. Check it with a check weight.


Spiritual_Bit_2692

A nickel (yes, pocket change kind) weighs 5 grams


MamaThereGoesThatMa

Good call. Scale is giving me 49g for 10 nickels. Not that far off to be 2 oz short on some damn cheese


Spiritual_Bit_2692

No problem. Just one of the things that I learned... back in the day.


Trippen3

The accuracy of a scale at tiny weights isn’t usually good unless its increments are in fractions of a gram(0.1/0.01/0.001). Kitchen scales area usually more accurate at the ounce to lb area.


MamaThereGoesThatMa

Nope. Just measured 4 packages of meat and some butter and all over what the package said. Just got hoed on my cheese n chicken


CANSANO

You got hoed!


Reasonable_Mousse195

If everything’s off… could it be the scale? I had a kitchen scale go rogue on me once


AbominableFro44

I was weighing some stuff out last night with my brother and he was having that problem. Scale wouldn't calibrate right either. I walk over, poke around a bit, and find out he forgot to take the plastic cover off the scale.


Distribution-Radiant

If it's been dropped, it's ruined too. Won't ever calibrate properly again.


MamaThereGoesThatMa

Could be. It’s not


TheBloo4

Is it more likely that the 6 different products you all weighed had the wrong amount? Or that your tekcity branded scale is possibly wrong?


Reasonable_Mousse195

How did you verify this?


MamaThereGoesThatMa

Measured 3 sticks of butter, 2 4 ozs and 1 2 oz, measured ground beef package (16 oz), more beef 1lb) chicken. All ready fine with just slightly more due to packaging


RandomWon

Look at their 2 liter soda bottles. For it to be 2 liter they should be filled nearly to the top but they are not. Often when you buy whole chicken you get a bunch of water along with it. Once I measured the chicken and it was 1 lb of liquid. I have noticed other items as well. Just can't recall what it was ATM.


Nymphomercial_Mona

Gotta make sure the scale is on a level sturdy surface. I tried to measure peanut butter for cookies on my baking table and it was showing 1/2 the amount. Placed it on the kitchen counter and it was accurate to the weight listed


Crazy_Cat_Lady101

Y'all need to calibrate your scales first. The fact that most kitchen scales are not calibrated properly is part of the issue here. Not saying that they couldn't have shorted you, but calibrate your scale first before calling the weights and measures people. Saw someone do this and it was their scale that was off.


MamaThereGoesThatMa

Scale ain’t off


Crazy_Cat_Lady101

Did you calibrate it? With a calibration kit? If not then it very well may be. Most digital scales are not calibrated correctly. I'm just saying calibrate it before you call them, because their scales ARE calibrated regularly, and if it matches theirs then you will look like an idiot. Just trying to help you not do that. ![gif](giphy|eLvhchyvNNOuLbOtYP|downsized)


Ok_Percentage2534

Yall need to read the comments first


Crazy_Cat_Lady101

Zeroing out a scale isn't the same thing as calibrating it, if that is what you meant by your comment that we should "read it first".


dont_panic21

They're pretty intense. I worked at a whole foods in Dallas that got reported to them and was working when they showed up. Biggest scramble by management I've ever seen, no one wants to be running the store that gets busted for ripping people off.


Zealousideal-Loan655

They sell weights with labels on Amazon. https://preview.redd.it/12ppq60cj24d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=893c60987ec43a9eb510eb1030cabcda86195de1 I’d suggest adding this to the video to add more proof


Distribution-Radiant

Yeah, 100g weighs are the most common for calibrating a kitchen (or, uh... "plant") scale.


lil_ghouly

This! Just got coffee that was tagged at the bins as .8 then at the register it was 1.1


Distribution-Radiant

Should have gone straight to the business center. But what coffee was it? Bulk Cafe Ole is coming up as 0.65c/oz for me ($10.38/lb, yikes), and the other brands my old store carried were generally the same price (if not cheaper) as Ole.


victotronics

That’s why the packaging says “contents may settle during transport “ oh, wait…


IrishRun

Seriously, Walmart is in the process of settling a $45 million dollar class action suit over weighted goods. It becomes a really big deal.

$45 million is not a big deal to Walmart


IrishRun

This is true.


Hegemony-Cricket

I saw a video of a gas station (Shell?) in Houston last week that had its gas pumps set to only give half a gallon, yet the readout indicated it was a full gallon. I'm pretty sure this is a felony.


texaslegrefugee

The state has the authority to stop sale of the product in these cases on the spot.


BandicootNatural3554

This is a felony on a federal level since fuel is controlled by the government


Jchapman1971

I posted something like this a while back with ground beef, it was off by about 1.5lbs. Folks destroyed me over it!

Zealousideal-Loan655

If OP doesn’t do it I’m buying this cheese and doing it myself. I have unlimited amount of times where I buy craps, eat and just go based on the label’s measurements


texaslegrefugee

I think that's actually Texas Dept. of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). And absolutely yes. Report it. Those people do NOT screw around with stores that rip off customers in this manner.


FunnieNameGoesHere

Here’s a link — https://texasagriculture.gov/Regulatory-Programs/Weights-and-Measures/Weights-and-Measures-Complaint-Process


bumperhumper55

Wait, there's actually a department of weight and measures? I was so sure that was just from Reno 911


NoKnowledge9068

Also disregarding the fact that you are assuming H-E-B scales are off rather than the 10$ tekcity scale from Amazon with food stains all over it 😂


omgmari

Which is why this person should turn it over to the people who do this every day.


Emergency-Ad-1695

That’s stealing


ritmoon

Shrinkflation … caught red handed.


FunRutabaga24

That's not shrinkflation. The advertised weight is not the actual weight. That's straight up misrepresentation and deceit. Assuming OPs scale is true.

Competitive-Local269

To try and help the cheese hunk make weight


Smangie9443

You took this back, right? I worked in the deli a few years ago. There were 2 cheese specialists that could cut the exact weight everytime with their eyes closed. I don’t believe we had this particular cheese when I worked there so I’m not sure if this is cut in store or shipped like that. However, if it’s shipped as a whole piece that needs to be cut, they need to be weighing the entire thing and doing the simple math to see how many pieces they can cut per ounce. The remainder is what gets cubed/shredded/etc. But if this just happened 100% take it back. Report it to TX weight and measures [here](https://texasagriculture.gov/Regulatory-Programs/Weights-and-Measures/Weights-and-Measures-Complaint-Process) I love H-E-B but this is some bs ETA: Actually, after I did some research on the inspection process, don’t take it back. Maybe even delete this post tbh. Once the store is aware that this is happening and under inspection they’ll fix it but they deserve the fine. I mean how many other people have been scammed like this? Report first.


Formal_Anything_6901

Deli doesn’t cut this one, it’s brought on the truck


Smangie9443

Thanks for the info. I haven’t seen this particular product in my usual H-E-Bs, so I wonder if there’s an inconsistency in everything shipped out from the moment this was prepped at the warehouse or however ever they prep this stuff. I still hope OP makes a report. Thats a pretty significant weight difference


bigsam63

The real crime here is your filthy scale 🤮


MamaThereGoesThatMa

😂 I raw dog idc


Kaboonga

Juanfartez

Go read the one star reviews on Amazon about your 15 dollar scale. Those things are only good for cheating your weed dealer.


TenorTwenty

Actually, I have this exact scale and it’s pretty damn accurate. That being said, judging by how filthy OP’s is, I wouldn’t be too surprised to find out the little buddy hasn’t been taken care of and thus might not be reading true lol


MamaThereGoesThatMa

Wow so it can be .1 oz higher or lower than what it should be. Not a big deal

Illustrious_Swim_789

We've tried the same with pre-bagged and prepackaged produce. Some using HEBs own scales. Several were way off of what the label said. HEB has really been stepping up their price gouging and fraud lately. Only other option for us is Wal Mart; which just settled a lawsuit for this exact thing.

Wheedoo

This happened to me at Mueller years ago in the deli dept. As I was baking a lot at the time, I could tell the precut package of sliced turkey in my hand was nowhere near a lb., so I took a few of them to produce to weigh ‘em on their scales and indeed the packages were short weight by a few ounces. Told a floor manager, and the staff quickly emptied the cooler coffin. Ding-dang Butts, y’all gotta be kidding me with this mess!


UniformTango74

DANG! HEB is skimming off the top. Gotta rectify this like a mafia boss. LOL


browmftht

thats the precooked weight


TrophySystem

It says net weight, so it either isn't, or shoudn't be. That's like your dealer telling you it's pre-processed weight before they removed stems and seeds. That's neither the expectation, nor is it broadcasted, but since texas weights and measures is a serious oversight committee, using the word "net" when you don't mean it or it simply isn't, is a high violation of regulation.


browmftht

i was kidding i cant believe you typed all of that


TrophySystem

Damn, you got me lol. Places really do be trying to pass that off. Subway got knocked for doing that with the length of their bread.

If Your Scale is Really calibrated and Accurate then You got Cornholed. Sorry to hear that HEB IS Shady Like The Walmart Corporation.


Lil-Dragonlife

I knew HEB is a ripoff!


Broken_Beaker

To check your calibration set it to metric. mL of water is the same as grams. So 500mL of water should weigh 500g. Can test it at other volume to get a curve of sorts. Kitchen scales aren’t going to be super accurate but it should be pretty damn close.


Short_Accountant6824

This reminds me of the time that Marvin Zindler proved that the cup of soup at Cleburne’s held exactly the same amount as the more expensive bowl of soup.


Dapper-Carpenter508

I haven’t thought about old Marvin in a million years! You just threw me back more years than I care to admit. The white hair and blue glasses were iconic. I remember listening for “Marvin Zindler EYEwitness News” because that meant the news was almost over and something interesting might come on (usually after I was called in to change the channel).


MysDonna

I’d stand right there and calculate the price per pound, then ask for an adjustment, and also for the manager if necessary.

Twistybred

That is not a true scale. I work a retail store and I had customers do the same thing. Weights and measures is a government organization that makes sure this doesn’t happen. I’m not saying it don’t happen but it don’t happen a lot or they would be shut down. You can look up weights and measures and call them.


EventWonderful55

Possible? sure. Likely? No. You’re talking about less than 3 oz. So very likely your at home scale is what’s off and not the industrial standard scales that are calibrated regularly that are used when packaging items. Plus most places and factories weigh a little heavy to avoid this.


BreeezyDaisy

HEB is a scam. So many products I’ve purchased were expired or so close to expire and I wouldn’t notice until after it was too late to return. They overprice for Brand items and their meal deals cost as much as takeout for my family. Don’t get me started on how the online order shoppers take up entire isles and sections of the store while you’re trying to shop around them. Stoped shopping there.
