And guess what? Their scales aren't inspected on a regular basis.
I discovered this years ago, when a letter was returned for being over an ounce. At the time, I had scales that were inspected and licensed by the state of Oregon on an annual basis, the last inspection weeks before this incident. I went back to the local post office, talked with the postmaster there. He couldn't recall the last time his scales were checked...
