Almost got cheated at Seafood City

The one on the RIGHT was the original price label printed before it was brought in (out of my sight) to be cut.  After the Seafood city employee brought out the cut meat, I decided to weigh it again and I noticed that it weighed less than it was prior to being cut.  The circled BLUE numbers show the discrepancy of the weight.  So I asked him why it weighed less after he brought it out.  He tried to make an excuse that it was because it was cut.  Common sense tells me that the meat should weigh about the same cut or not cut.  So I argued that no it should not.  To appease me, he printed a new price label (as shown in the LEFT).  Obviously, this employee tried to cheat me out by retaining a piece or two of the cut meat.  Not sure if it was just the employee or a practice endorsed by the management.   I decided to find a manager and complain about this.   They should know that this practice was unacceptable.

I was honestly disappointed to find this thing happening here in America.  Sure the employee was Filipino and the establishment caters to Filipinos but usually that kind of unbecoming practice do not happen here.  It would be extreme poverty that would drive Filipinos back in the Philippines to cheat others. And I did not expect this employee to be that poor to resort to petty theft.  Perhaps it was not so petty if he did it to every customer.  At the end of the day, he would have a lot of meat.  Or perhaps old habit just made his actions second nature to him.  Whatever his reasons were, I am saddened by this event.  

Immigrants, including myself, should not bring their bad practices here.  Because it were these bad practices that made the living conditions back in their home country unpalatable to begin with.  Why else would they come here if they were fine back home?  They came here for a better life, so leave the bad habits behind and start a new.
