These fantastic scales are pretty much the heart of our shop. They’re fun, easy to use and let you do your own weighing! Basically, you weigh, fill, weigh and pay. That’s it.
If you want to know more, this is how it goes!
Weigh your empty container and print your label
Fill your container
Bring it back to the scales, touch ‘I have a filled container to weigh’
Scan the label you printed for your container and select the item you’ve filled with - this takes off the weight of your container.
We’re in our third week! It seems like no time ago that we had a building site on our hands, and an awful lot of empty containers to fill. We’ve managed to restore the old Salvation Army hall to it’s high-ceilinged glory, which has worked brilliantly with the rows of refills.
It’s been incredible to meet so many of you over the last few weeks - and to see so many containers coming to be refilled. Every single one of them has likely saved a single use plastic bag. It’s incredibly satisfying: we had popcorn for the first time in ages: we had a 25kg sack, which decanted into the dispensers, then into our tub and was turned into olive oil sale & vinegar popcorn. Not a single piece of plastic waste. We did feel just a little bit pleased with ourselves!!
