Change giving becomes much more difficult.
- logfromblammo 12y agoJust apply a $0.01 discount at the register for customers paying in cash. Your total is $34.06, with a $0.06 discount. Your change is a $1 and a $5 from $40. Thank you, come again. A $0.01 discount is a lot easier to swallow than an additional $0.01 change-making fee on each item.
- sparkie 12y agoThe arithmetic would be too much for a large number of tillers, who can't do much more math than count change. This still misses the other main purpose of the .99p, which was to force the tiller to open the till to get the change (thus, reducing the likelihood that they might just pocket the money handed to them).
