I would like to visit the magic land where you live, where there are no bad, impatient, unkind employers. I've traveled much of the world in my 60 plus years, and I've never been where you are.

It's more the combination of a bad boss and the expectation that anyone would take such a price tag seriously. See my other reply. Of course there are bad employers.

Well, at least a price tag like that would never fly and nobody trying to enforce that policy would be taken seriously. That's why I initially did not get what you were talking about. 🔽

If I was to point out such a tag to my local supermarket manager the expected answer would be "oh, that's a mistake, of course the price is 3.49 per bottle". Seriously.

And then there is of course the occasional super-xl-pack with a price per item or per litre or kilo or whatever that is higher than for the regular pack. But it's EU law that the price per kilo/whatever must be on the tag on the shelf, too, so you do not even need to do your own math. 🔽

But such a blatant absurd rip-off - no, not going to fly. Everybody would just go "ok, let's pretend I buy one bottle, re-enter the market, buy another one, re-enter ..." Absolutely not enforceable because it's so obviously stupid.

This conversation stopped being fun for me a while ago. Have a nice day.
