Step 2.
The cashier will tare the weight of your clean container. This process is in place so you are not charged for the weight of your container.

Step 3.
Use our scoops to fill your containers with as much or as little as you want. Product scooped into a reusable container is marked for final sale and cannot be reintroduced to our barrels or tubs.

So let me understand this. All you reusable container folks think that that savings you make outweigh the tent dwelling rasta braided slob that hand samples product right out of the bin risk to public health?
Somehow we have legislated health standards to provide sealed and tamper proof packaging but bulk food bins get a pass?? Never mind accidental influenza or worse, what about some nut bar that decides to drop rat feces or rat poison into the bin?
Sealed and tamper proof containers came into being because of the one in hundred thousand nut bar that tainted Tylenol. And you folks want to promote purchasing edibles from open bins subject to anything?
Thanks but no. The only thing I will buy from a bulk bin will be things like nails or screws. Not food.

Oh come on, I've never seen anything even remotely like anyone handing out food samples right from an open bin.

'two bits' Chicken Little fear-mongering is his/her loss, and the bulk food store shoppers' gain.
