In the video, it can be seen that both small stalls have been labeled as lacking in weight, and the owner of one store is still fanning. A netizen commented below the video, "You look calm, but you feel very anxious inside."
Some netizens think in reverse: "Is it the best time to buy now?" Some netizens also think that businesses may be putting on a bad show because of this: "Anyway, it's not a bad idea." Some netizens jokingly say, "When customers question the boss's lack of balance, the boss can say that this is an officially certified short weight business."

Putting up public signs for merchants who lack weight, in addition to Sanya, cities across the country such as Shenzhen, Jinan, Nanning, and Xiamen have also taken the same action.
In June of this year, the Guangming Supervision Bureau of the Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision Bureau carried out a special inspection on the shortage of weighing instruments. Merchants who use fraudulent measuring instruments have been hung with a public notice on site stating that they have been lawfully investigated and punished for short weight. One of the investigated merchants muttered on site, "We can't do business anymore.".

Some media comments believe that being short of weight is the most common and deeply despised bad business behavior among ordinary consumers, and the practice of regulatory authorities listing and publicizing will only win the praise of the public. If someone really cannot do business because of this, it is also their own fault, and the market does not welcome such "business people".
