interesting, many good restaurants charge full dollar menu. Like 7, 9, 11. You never see something like 8.99 unless it is a chain.
Maybe b/c, they realise their clientele is:
1. Smart enough to do the rounding up themselves.
2. Want to look more sophisticated by showing they are not using cheap tricks to nickel and dime customers.
