As per title. I very, very rarely drink, and I generally just want to buy a single of something for a rare treat, however most beers/ciders/etc are sold in multipacks.
The pricing on the shelf is usually per-pack only, yet sometimes I see random products with single cans/bottles missing, and sometimes random products will have a little section of unpackaged singles, despite not having a separate price showing.
Is it generally OK to split an unopened 4- or 6-pack, or is that as weird and inappropriate as doing the equivalent in a supermarket? What even are the rules around this?
I once tried to do this in some country on vacation and was told that’s not how it works. I’m german. It definitely works like this here. You just rip out one bottle or can and put it in your shopping cart. It will say so very clearly on the packaging if you’re not allowed to do it. But it’s not like this in every country. Maybe just ask staff.
It’s often like this in Canada but not always. Usually depends on if the individual cans or bottles have barcodes and are labelled for individual sale.
I’ve never had a cashier get mad for attempting to buy an invididual can/bottle not marked properly though
That would be rad if it was like that here. I’ve been kinda craving one of those canned margaritas recently, but I don’t really drink and they only sell those in packs of 6 or more. I just want 1.
