This is still the case in the UK, only in reverse - there wasn't a law requiring things to be sold in Imperial, to my knowledge - there was EU legislation requiring things to be labelled in Metric. So everyone, especially market grocers, went on selling in Imperial quantities but labelling and charging in metric. It's not just independent retailers though; I buy 454g bags of frozen Quorn mince from Sainsbury's (I like the fact that in Australia, a metric lb is 1g lighter!).

That will be useful when humanity uses giant robots to fight them in a few months.

Wow, Hanners has only been working at Coffee of Doom for like 600 strips. Already seems like forever. Possibly because I started reading after she started working there.
But yes, this is a stark reminder of just how new Hannelore is to having a normal job in a normal life.
techkid:
Claire really hasn't learned much about Marten's circle of friends, has she?

Too scary.
No-one had better say anything negative about books while they are in line.
