Broken clock etc etc. I only see pennies as stealing. If you charge me $9.99 instead of $10, you're doing some kind of fuck-fuck psychology game to make me think more is less. Pennies are worthless as a practical currency and only result in predatory business practices.
Even in countries without 1c or equivalent, they do the 9.99 or whatever. You won't get away from it. Sometimes they do 9.98 or 9.97 as neat little tricks.
so worst case scenario i might save 2 or 3 cents? SEE LIBS?!? TRUMP SAID HE WOULD SAVE US MONEY!! PROMISES MADE. PROMISES KEPT!!!
lol in mexico's supermarkets you were asked to donate whatever cents were left and that was used as a tax evasion scheme.
At least half of chain stores in America do the exact same thing
Many such cases worldwide. "Please round up your purchase to donate!" As if we don't know what they're doing???
No thanks I'll round down though
