The problem in the US with getting rid of pennies is that the US does not quote prices with sales tax included (unlike every other country on the planet). If you do that then you can quote prices at appropriate price points (4.25, 5.95 etc)
Of course if you get rid of the penny then rounding only occurs when you pay with cash - when you pay with a card you still get to pay to the penny
- ghaff 10y ago>unlike every other country on the planet That's not true at all. Many prices (in restaurants but also elsewhere) in both Canada and Europe don't include sales tax/VAT.
- maxerickson 10y agoWhat's wrong with rounding?
- Taniwha 10y agoNothing, but you don't need to round when you use a card
- DerekL 10y agoSome restaurants and coffee shops already display prices with tax, and round everything to the nearest nickel.
