Metric slip up

My conversation at the deli today:

"How ya goin?"

"Great!"

"What can I get you?"

"1/4 pound diced ham."  (Knowing full well I wanted 1/2 pound which is 1/4-ish kilo.)

"Pound?"

"Kilo!!! - 250 grams.  Sorry!"

Another fine example of how, if I don't concentrate, I easily slip into life long habits.
