    That’s if stores are the ones printing the price labels. Many prices are printed by the manufacturer on the packaging. They can print a single price on their product and ship it across the nation. All stores need to do is put it out.

      They used to, but I don’t think that’s a common thing anymore. The few things that still print the price, like certain candy and Arizona iced tea, have a separate price at most places I’ve seen lately

      Even then, they could just factor it in… They would make less on each unit in more expensive states, but it is an option. I saw that in places when I lived in France - and everything ended in round numbers too, it makes shopping so much more pleasant
