They are stealing your money if you paid for 20lbs and only got 15lbs.

Sounds like they were trying to take advantage of you.. Ive learned to weigh mine before taking it in just to see how much I will need but also to make sure im not over charged.

In Mesa we are the only place that has the stuff always in stock without driving to Phoenix. We are $7.99 a lb and no one ever complains. Employee cost is even $5 something... Lopers a mom and pop performance shop sometimes has it but we are open 365 days a year so my manager jacks up the price.
