PSA: Propane tank swaps at hardware stores keep giving me half-full tanks

I've seen this happen a few times now where the swapped tanks are not filled all the way. Last week, my torch flame died while I was shaping a vase because the tank was low. It turns out the tank was only about half full when I checked it later. This really slows down my projects and feels like a waste of cash.

Have you tried weighing the tanks before swapping, because that worked for me?

Is weighing them really necessary?

Can you just weigh them before you leave?
