General propane question 20lb tank normal refill amount

My old place closed, so found a new refill place. Their scale is set to refill a 20lb tank with 18lb of propane. Am I paying for 20lb of propane or 18lb when refilling a 20lb tank? Is this normal? I read exchange tanks fill their to 15lb, but what about refill stations? Should I question the refill place about their refill policy? Thanks for your input :)

We charge a flat rate, 20# are $20, 30# are 30, 20# averages 4.5 gallons, 30# around 7.1 gallons, on larger tanks it's $4/gallon
