What's the deal with buying single cans out of a multipack at a bottle shop? (Australia) - eviltoast

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?

    Where I live, they will often have a label on the pack that says whether it can be “divided” or not. I agree though that it’s a grey area until you see packs that have already been opened. For example, I wouldn’t take just one yoghurt, and I would never open up a pack that had glass bottles, so it seems unique to plastic and cans.
