Too bad you don't live in a state that requires unit pricing on the

Unit pricing on the shelf is alive and well here on the left coast, if
you
can read it.

The type size is so SMALL that you need to get on your hands and knees
to read the bottom shelf.

Shelves at eye level are another matter. With some effort, those tags
can
be read.

The only way to realistically read and understand the info is to grab
an item
and find a scanner on the sales floor and read it.

These days, if I'm going to shop at a big box store, first thing I do
is grab a
sales associate, describe what I need and have them take me to the
item.

Same thing applies to Mom-Pop operations.

Then their little taser type pistol takes over and reads the sales tag
for me.

Everybody is happy. I get what I need without wasting time, the
associate
gets to demonstrate their skills and the company gets an order.

It's up to me to recognize when a reduction in size has been made
since
the last time the item was purchased.
