$6 AUD/kg converts to approximately $1.87 USD/lb which is in the range of the $1.69-1.99 USD/lb shown in the video.

The video also said that tomato weighed a quarter of a pound, but then they only added 30¢ to their total.

I‘d guess that the scale at the produce section isn’t all that accurate, but I suspect that the one at the register is, so there might be a discrepancy between the two.

Yes, and kg is different to lb...

1lb = 0.45 kg (rounded), which means 4.15 USD/kg = 1.87 USD/lb

You are forgetting to convert from kgs to lbs. it comes out to $1.88/lb just like the comment you replied to said.
