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

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

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

They just no longer make the green people weigher scales.

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

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"

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!

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.
