How should you ring a customer purchasing both weighed produce and non-weighed items?

• A. Weight all items.
• B. Weigh weighed items, use PLU/price for others, then complete the sale.
• C. Use PLU for all items.
• D. Price by color.

Answer: (D)

Pricing mixed baskets correctly relies on using the right method for each type of item. Items sold by weight should be weighed on the scale to capture their actual pounds, and the price is calculated from that weight. Items priced per unit (or identified by a PLU code) are handled by scanning or entering the PLU so the system applies the correct per-item price. By weighing the weight-based items and using PLU codes for the rest, you ensure each item is charged accurately, and you can complete the sale efficiently with the correct total. Pricing by color isn’t a valid or reliable method for determining prices.
