I will have to visit one of the bigger chains to see what they do and report back. We have had two chains go out of business recently. There are two left that I usually don't go to becasue they are more expensive.

Do you have Aldi stores where you live? The Aldi store that is near me doesn't do it. Maybe they are exempt or maybe they don't care and no one has complained.

Everybody seems to do it in Michigan. I believe the unit pricing may be a requirement for the shelf edge sticker IF you don't want to stamp the price on every item. Thus it trades one cost for another. Dear Jerry, The catalog page that I posted here on February 25 was from our local Aldi store but it is also done by all of the other supermarket chains.
