Meat is weighed out at the counter

Behind a counter a saleswoman in an apron cuts a small piece of meat with a broad knife; beside her a tall scale holds a scrap on its dish, and across the counter women in hats and coats, baskets on their arms, lean forward and hold out slips of paper while a man in a hat waits behind them. According to the source German women receive their meat ration and pay for it. A ration card entitled its holder to a fixed weight of meat a week, and shops often had less to give.
