The Customer fills the container with a Bulk Food Item. For example, bulk nuts, bulk cereal, dried fruits, etc.
The Customer presents the bulk goods to the Clerk/Staff Member for payment.
The Clerk/Staff Member weighs the gross weight of the bulk goods presented and the item is added to the sale with the price calculated based on the gross weight.
