Claim 10:
11. A method to selectively refill a jar, the method comprising:
A) providing the fluid dispensing system of claim 10, wherein a microprocessor-based control element comprises a non-transitory computer readable memory medium storing program instructions executable by processing circuitry for a fluid dispensing assembly and system;
B) providing electrical power to the system by activating an on/off switch;
C) placing an empty fill jar comprising a passive RFID tag onto the fill jar scale comprising an active RFID reader;
D) the microprocessor-based control element obtaining from an active RFID reader a product identity of the empty fill jar and comparing it to an existing bulk source container;
E) commencing automatic fluid dispensing if the empty fill jar identity matches the existing bulk source container identity and a real time weight of the bulk source container is greater than nearly empty; and
F) stopping fluid dispensing when the microprocessor-based control element receives a real time full weight for the fill jar from the fill jar scale or when the real time weight of the bulk source container from the bulk source container scale is greater than nearly empty.
