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?
Just go for it. If you’re not allowed, they’ll tell you and you can select something else.
I was quite impressed recently when I was in a vintage cellars (coles owned) and they had a sustainable 4 or 6 pack multi option. Basically, a way to hold them all together and allow pik n mix, but not plastic.
Dan Murphy’s have also had cardboard 6 packs available for a long time, to let you do the same. One of my favourite things is to browse the craft beers and pick half a dozen I haven’t tried before.
