I’d outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don’t have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

    Displaying any price other than the final price I have to pay inclusive of all fees and charges. I don’t care about a number that has some mathematical relationship to what’s going to come out of my bank account, just tell me the price. This always annoys me so much when I travel to the US but it’s probably like that in a few other places too.

      And lying about why something is charged, although it’s not silly. A takeaway website I worked for adds “service charge” which is literally just a delivery charge, but hidden, because you only see it during finalization. It doesn’t apply to pick-up orders, only delivery. Many websites seem to had adopted it so they can lie about the free delivery.

      In the USA, companies like Ticketmaster now have to show the full price upfront, including all taxes and fees. Airlines have had to do it for a little over 10 years, too. I really hope this is enforced for more industries in the future.

      If I’m at a physical store, they know the tax rate, so the listed prices should include taxes! Same with a restaurant, more and more of which are hiding nonsense fees.

        And multiple different unit prices across brands. It’s easy when one product uses per kilo while another uses per 100g, but it’s more annoying in the US when one product shows unit pricing per pound while another shows it per ounce.

          Came here to say this! At least if it was metric it’d be an easy conversion. But america still clings to it’s stupid units and I end up just not buying stuff rather than trying to do math in my head a hundred times in the grocery store.

            I’m grateful that US food/drink packaging at least has both American units and metric units. I’m an Australian living in the USA so I always just look at the metric units.
