The real answer is that bathroom scales have god awful precision and accuracy.

Most digital bathroom scales will repeat your last measurement if it hasn't changed by more than half a pound. I pick up a 1 lb soap bottle off the counter first, then measure again without it for my weigh in.

Customers really hate seeing if a scale has a little inaccuracy in back to back measurements, so they all build in this bullshitting.

so you're saying we should invest in an industrial freight shipping scale for maximum accuracy

I love this. It remind me of the whole South Korean fan thing.
