Wow, I didn't realize how different things were over there. In the US, stores automatically started doing this without the need for government to step in. Maybe it became compulsory in other states but it seems like a huge waste of time to pass a law relating to this
- wcoenen 7y agoAt least here in Belgium, I do not remember there being consistent and uniform unit pricing before the directive was issued in 1998. From my point of view, the directive appears to have improved things so I would not characterize it as "a huge waste of time", quite the opposite.
- dqv 7y agoYes. And in the US, the units are still not uniform, so it means standing at each product for a few minutes with a calculator converting between units. It has wasted way more time than passing a law that requires the same units for each product.
