Finally tried a digital scale for mise en place instead of just eyeballing it

I spent 2 years guessing amounts on my station and my plating was all over the place. Last week I got a $20 scale and now my portions are actually consistent every time. Has anyone else seen their ticket times improve after dropping the guesswork?

Pro kitchens swear by them for consistency" is exactly what my buddy the line cook says. He calls them "robot hands" because every scoop is the same size, no wrist fatigue by hour eight. That robot hands thing is a fair trade-off when you're trying to pump out 200 plates a night.
