Abstract
Produce items are identified in aisle of a store during a self-shopping session of a shopper and the produce items are associated with a shopping cart of the shopper. A weigh terminal permits produce items to be placed on a weigh plate for weighing in any order selected by the shopper. Each produce item is verified, weight recorded, and price noted in the shopping cart. Discrepancies in produce identification are addressed on checkout and payment for the shopping cart. In an embodiment, aging produce items are identified in aisle or at the weigh terminal, and the shopper is provided a discounted price on such produce items; or availability of aging produce items are communicated to the shopper in aisle during produce identification or at the weigh terminal during produce verification.
