I believe the unit pricing may be a requirement for the shelf edge

Dear John,
Shelf edge unit pricing is normal here in Australia. My wife says that
unit pricing makes shopping comparisons 'a breeze' that cuts down on
shopping time and calculation frustrations considerably.
This is in addition to the supply of this information in shopping
