In an opinion piece in the Penticton Herald, British Columbia, a local resident, John Dorn, tells us that butter, fruit, meat, and vegetables are priced by the pound, while seafood and deli meats are priced by the 100 grams.
Speaking of “by the pound,” why are we still selling groceries in imperial measurements 45 years after the nation converted to metric? Meat and vegetables are priced by the pound to prevent sticker shock, but seafood and deli meats are priced per 100 grams, for the same reason.
Maybe when we baby boomers have faded away, so will imperial pricing.
