good stores show cost/ounce right there

i have asked several times at one store why they have no cost/unit
shrugged me off

we don't care, we don't have to



This is true but they could also "not post the correct calculation per
oz or lb. to steer you towards what they want you to buy. I have seen
that. If it really matters to you it is best to make the calculations
yourself.


I'm more than a little skeptical of this Leon. It's the "not post the
corredt calculation per..." part that raises my suspicions. No doubt -
there are unscrupulous retailers out there, so I can't argue that it does
not or cannot happen, but really - how often does this happen?
