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?
The loose cans they sell come from the pre packed boxes anyway, I’ve had them tell me to grab one out of the box when I’ve been short one for a 6 pack, usually they take the box off so either a customer has grabbed one to buy or someone’s stolen one or both.
That’s going to vary by jurisdiction.
Where I am, retail can only sell in the package sizes provided from manufacturer due to various labeling (and other) regulations.
The cans in a 6 pack are labelled differently from the ones intended to be sold as singles.
