    So, if these prices can be so easily updated, surely the retailers can now include tax in the listed price. It’s very simple automated math of course…

      Ads are digital. The price ranges become digital. They have no excuse.

      I’m sure you’ll still get those bootlickers defending the practice of not including tax, but they will make even less sense than before.

      Wait, you’re telling me that the price on the shelf doesn’t include tax where you live?

          And how about price comparison, is it mandatory for US supermarkets to display the price per unit based on a standard unit of measurement (such as per pound or per ounce or whatever metrics are used)?

            Depends, generally no. Some supermarkets do as a company policy though and I choose to shop at those that do show per-unit pricing (and are also locally/employee owned)
