TL;DR
Most Batumi supermarket chains (Nikora, Daily, Billion, Spar, Carrefour) don't have a customer-facing price display at checkout, though overcharging on small purchases is unlikely; Carrefour tends to have long queues, so many locals prefer nearby chains like Villmart and Magnit.
Checkouts at most supermarkets don't have a separate customer price display, sometimes you can only glimpse the cashier's monitor. Overcharging on small purchases is basically impossible, so many shoppers don't bother checking prices.
Within one neighborhood you can usually find several chains: Nikora, Daily, Billion, Spar, plus Carrefour inside the MetroCity mall. None of them have a customer-facing price display at checkout.
Carrefour almost always has long checkout lines. For everyday grocery runs it's more convenient to use neighborhood chains like Villmart or Magnit.
It's worth splitting your grocery list between different stores: assortment and prices vary noticeably between chains, so some items are cheaper in one supermarket and others in a different one.
