If he zero'd the scale, which by the way most of those scales are xx years old & most likely NEVER calibrated, then you most likely did not get 20 lbs, if I recall a 20# empty bottle weighs 4.7 pounds (tare weight stamped on top collar) so 20-4.7=15.3lbs. In your case a 30 lb bottle weighs more & if any left in the bottle you actually paid more for less.
If at all possible always pay by the gallon, better for you, not by the pound, better for them.
