'Random weight' is the trade term for items where each pack is a different weight and price — the steak the butcher cut to order, the wedge of cheese from the deli, the bag of grapes you grabbed. The barcode encodes the price, not the SKU, so the scanner reads $7.43 instead of pinging a database. Opposite of 'fixed weight' items like a sealed 500g pasta box.
“Half the loss in the meat department is random weight — wrong label, wrong scale calibration, suddenly you're selling rib-eye for chuck money.”
