Even if it is in some states there may be exemptions depending on
what type of store you are. 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.

objections to metric-only labeling option
This may vary by state law. 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.
Cheers,
