Aggravated at the Meat Counter

I just went to the specialty meat market to get some steaks. I always ask them to cut my filets because I like the smaller than they come pre-cut. Its way to much meat for a person to eat an 8 oz filet. So I asked the guy for 2 – 6 oz and 3-4 oz. filets. So as far as my math goes that’s 24 oz. which makes 1.5 pounds. He hands me the package and I go up to pay and look down and its 2.1 pounds. So that’s about $13 more than what I asked for. Its aggravating. Then I end up looking like a complainer or a cheapo if I take them back and ask for what I asked for in the first place.

In reflecting on it on the way home, I think they must train them all to measure heavy. When I ask for my sliced turkey – half pound, its always over “just a little”. Is it a conspiracy? Or am I just too exacting?
