1. A method for order verification, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a computer processor having both data storage and computing capability;

    storing data as to a weight for each of a plurality of items offered for sale in the computer processor;

    inputting into the computer processor selected items that make up a customer order from the plurality of items stored in data and computing a projected total weight for the customer order;

    assembling the selected items to make up the customer order without input to the computer processor to individually identify the selected items during assembly;

    placing the customer order onto a weigh scale without individually weighing the selected items that make up the customer order; and

    comparing an actual weight of the customer order as indicated by the weigh scale with the projected total weight computed by the computer processor to verify the order, while applying a maximum allowable variance for the customer order which is less than the weight of a lightest of the selected items in the customer order.
