That would be false advertising, in the UK.
Rather - you should be asking the question, why don’t the shops in the Netherlands, just mark up the price, to €1 instead?! Seems incredibly stupid, to me.
- Freak_NL 3y agoShops worldwide do this; whether it is $1.99, €1,99, £1.99 or ¥499. It's a psychological trick. The exceptions (like the Dutch HEMA for which whole unit prices are part of its heritage) use it as a distinguishing feature, but most shops don't dare to.
- nerdbert 3y agoBecause if you buy five of that item, you pay €4.95. Few people go into a store and buy one €0.99 item. And if you pay with your debit card then it's still €0.99.
