When the machine price went higher than a nickel, I lost interest in knowing my weight. Eventually some of it got out in front of me where I could keep an eye on it.
Put in a dime, painfully watch it slowly rise, pass your weight, then slooowly come down to your weight on giant scale, so EVERYBODY walking by can see.
Then a tiny piece of paper popped out with your fortune on it.

Something else is working if he’s paying a dollar to weigh himself. Gullibility, perhaps? Or just a strong need to waste money?

When the lockdowns began, I decided I was going to lose fifteen pounds. And now, after almost two years, I have just 22 pounds to go.
