line, not that it looks like much of a problem)

The way they have it set up at LLCA the customers are able to put it on the
scale themself and the weight and price shows up.  I see MANY parents saying
"thats too much, go put it back" to the kids who have a bag full of mixed up
parts. I would think the 'you know exactly how much you are paying' option would
work better to deter this.

And I know the PAB at LLCA does take returns, which I am not happy about. I am
positive people return used bricks to the shop - and I do NOT want to buy used
bricks at PAB. IMHO there should be NO returns on loose bricks from PAB.
