In the UK shops use "10 items or less". Speaking as an English teacher I'd have to say fewer is the correct form.
Fewer is used as a comparative when relating to people or objects that can be counted. Less is used with numbers and expressions of measurements of time!
The use of less with a count noun e.g. ten items or less is incorrect in standard English

Ok here's the deal gentlemen :

grammatically speaking, fewer is the corect term. HOWEVER, nobody seems to be using the correct term even in England so pragmatically less is used.
