Good!

What's the point of being educated in metric, as I was to be faced with imperial measures when I head to the market. If she offered her customers a choice, labelling in both metric and imperial then she wouldn't have been dragged through all this.

Well how about if you just passed up this vendor and moved to the next one down the line?

As a consumer, why should I?
Right, why should he when he can use the power of government to get his way?

Right, she should use both scales.  Not using both scales is probably going to hurt her business.  But what kind of a "free" country puts their citizenry on trial for using the wrong system of weights and meassures?  How can so many of you be ok with it?  What's next, a yearly tax to own a TV?
