Are Thai Airways checking hand luggage weight at Heathrow?

It can happen at any time by any airline. I had it happen to me by Asiana in Korea. She said my bag weighed to much either take some stuff out or go to the counter and check it. We walked away and I looked back noticed and she was walking away and being replaced. The new lady didn’t say anything as we walked past her 🤪
