Unit pricing shelf tags. Target household paper goods.

Unit pricing shelf tags at Target for household paper goods are
incorrect. Instead of unit price per count of sheets that vary in size
the unit price should be per hundred square feet as at other stores.
Why? Your rate of use depends on the size of the sheet, not the total
sq ft per roll or hundred ft 2. That is one of my pet peeves. About
10 or 15 years ago, the paper towel rolls suddenly changed from being a
square sheet to a rectangle so you used about 1/3 more towel per use
than prior. Neat way to get people to buy more towels without using
any more sheets IOW a subtle customer rip-off.
