tare-orrist
A bean-counting "supervisor from Hell" who obsessively reminds his warehouse/store staff about "zeroing the scales" prior to weighing dry goofs.
Health-foods store employee: My boss frequently reminds me about resetting the electronic scale's digital counter every few hours, but I don't really view him as a tare-orrist... I know he means well (i.e., he cares enough about his customers to ensure that they get the full amount of product that they paid for, as well as not wanting to lose money himself by over-measuring), plus I also tend to be forgetful, and so his repeated refreshing of the idea in my mind enables me to make fewer dispensing mistakes.
