Maybe that is what it is. The time. When I got to thinking about it,
I realized that my husband and I are swamped, from the time we get to
market until we leave. If we had to stop and weigh out everything,
well I honestly don't know how we would do it. With every thing
sitting out on the table in those pints and quarts our customers
point to what they want, we grab and bag. It is very difficult for
one of us to run the stand. It takes both of us. Lots of times one of
us will wait on the customers while the other is refilling the
containers. It's non stop for us, and probably most of the other
vendors at our market. I personally have never checked with the dept
of ag. about certifying the scales. I was going by what the other
vendors were telling me. They have all been doing this much longer
than we have so... I know from the record keeping perspective it
would be much easier if we knew how many pounds of tomatoes or
whatever we were actually taking to market.
