the chain groceries in my area (md) are pretty good about providing
unit pricing (i.e. cost per ounce, etc.). i don't think it's mandated
by law, but they have found it to be good for customer relations.

but it does **** me off that a lot of specialty items (your
gourmet-type stuff) aren't marked on the shelf. there are two u.p.c.
scanners available to customers in the supermarket i shop at (giant),
one of which actually works, but it's a nuisance.
