Big ol' green scale at the grocery store...

This big ol' scale is what greets you when you frequent one of the local grocery stores here in Florida.  It's either the first thing you see when you enter the store or the last thing you see when you leave.  What is UP with that?!  Who needs to know their weight at the store?  And who on EARTH would get on this MONSTER.  It looks like a scale for cattle...
I don't own a scale and I don't know my weight, nor do I care to.  But if I wanted to know I definitely wouldn't find out at the store?!!!  This is The Dumbest Thing EVER!!!
