I'm a little worried this will encourage vendors to increases prices up to the next 5 cent mark, which will cause inflation that we really don't need more of right now.
- timbit42 11mo agoIn Canada, most prices still end in 99. You still pay to the cent if you're paying with a debit or credit card, which the vast majority of customers are these days.
- phantasmish 11mo agoGas stations price to the tenth of a penny per gallon. There is no 1/10 cent coin. Works fine.
- warmwaffles 11mo agoThat's because the law requires them to charge that extra 9/10. It's silly.
- phantasmish 11mo agoIt doesn’t require it. There may still be (I dunno) fixed per-gallon taxes in the tenth-penny-per-gallon range, but stations aren’t forced to handle it the way they do.
- lbourdages 11mo agoThis has not been an issue in Canada. There is sales tax, which basically randomizes the last digit.
