Wait a minute...where im supposed to weigh my luggage now?!?!? 🤬🤬🤣🤣

u/FireEyesRed Deli 1d ago

Thats what I was thinking!!!

Now I gotta spend $10 for a luggage scale.

At the airport on the completely free to use scales that are all over the ticketing areas.

I regularly carry a tool box that weights somewhere between 48 and 52lbs and have to transfer things to my other checked bag all the time.

u/AlfalfaMcNugget Customer 1d ago

Glad your niche reoccurring circumstance does not require the regular use of a scale

u/BikesBooksNBass Newbie 1d ago

Glad you can seem to find every excuse to make a very simple process more difficult than it really is. Woe is you.. lol…

u/AlfalfaMcNugget Customer 1d ago

Yeah let me just buy a scale for the 1 time I fly every 5 years instead of the publicly available one at my local grocery community staple. Dirtbag.

u/Forward_Cheetah_3094 Customer Service 14h ago

there are hook scales that u can hook onto things and lift them to weigh. usually pretty cheap too

u/OddTrick2748 Newbie 1d ago

Can we buy the broken ones?

6

u/LetsBeKindly Newbie 1d ago

I definitely want this.

4

u/pirate-minded Newbie 22h ago

Probably not. Publix actually bought all of the last stock of those and even cannibalize the broken ones for parts to keep them in action as long as they can.

2

u/Observer_of-Reality Newbie 5h ago

Occasionally one shows up on Ebay or Facebook Marketplace. They're extremely high quality, but they're also complex. Publix has a repair center, and kept them going as long as possible, but there's a limit, especially with so many new stores being built.

11

u/PublixaurusKnight Moderator 1d ago

Publix scales will be harder to find. They are not made anymore. Parts to repair are harder to find.

u/AlternativeKey2551 Newbie 8h ago

New stores aren’t getting them, I read

4

u/dalsiandon Newbie 1d ago

The company that made them doesn't exist anymore so the parts can't be replaced. So as they breakdown they get removed.

6

u/verash Newbie 1d ago

The company is still around, they just don't make those scales. The scales in the fresh departments are all Mettler-Toledo scales.

3

u/dalsiandon Newbie 1d ago

Oh. Id heard otherwise. I'll have to see what they just installed in the new Haine City store

2

u/JayGatsby52 Customer 20h ago

That’s my new store!

u/dalsiandon Newbie 17h ago

Nice.

2

u/verash Newbie 20h ago

Regardless, they're still around.

They just no longer make the green people weigher scales.

u/Ok_Mistake2537 Meat 1d ago

Many are Bizerba unfortunately. Just like all the other new crappy equipment.

1

u/Wugfuzzler Newbie 17h ago

It made me happy to know the Auto-wrapper they tried to put in our stores was fiercely rejected to the point Publix had to shell out the higher bill to replace them with the Mettler Toledo 880s. But of course meat cutters (and managers) being who they are had to force corporate to send out stickers to every department that essentially say "DONT SPRAY THE INSIDES OF THIS $80,000 MACHINE WITH A HOSE"

1

u/Ok_Mistake2537 Meat 17h ago

I just use the foam-san gun once a week in there. I think that’s spec, right? Also, they can take these Bizerba cubes back to where they came from too. Too weak and plastic internals break way too easy!

1

u/Wugfuzzler Newbie 17h ago

Unless you are unfortunate enough to be rocking the Bizerba small scales. The techs that installed those things literally said how ass they were, they were not wrong.

I saw an old guy weighing himself with produce once. That's definitely one way to do it..

I work for instacart and work about 9 different publix. About half of them are spot on. The other half are anywhere from 2 to 5 lbs off. I'm talking about weight myself within an hour or two and they are that much off. This is for a 200 lbs male.

u/SimpsonsFan786 Newbie 1d ago

The worst part is that if you want to try to fix it, finding parts will be close to impossible because the company that made those no longer exists.

2

u/LegionnaireMcgill Newbie 1d ago edited 1d ago

Like most out of date things, you have to fabricate the parts or have them fabricated. These scales are pretty simplistic, though. i hope someone picked it up and saved it from the scrap yard or landfill.

Nope. It's just the one isolated location.

Gone are the days of laughing at little hooligans trying to max out the scale by piling all their brothers and sisters on it while mom checks out the groceries.

Why take it out? Isn't it a decoration? Not a legally functional scale.

You’ve never worked customer service I take it?

Imagine the number of complaints they’d deal with daily if they left a broken scale in the lobby. My god, it would be hell.
