Since we don't have pennies up here any more, any change is rounded.
Created a huge confusion amongst cashiers. When item is charged
by CC or debit, we still count pennies to exact amount.


Do they still play the $1.99 game? Pennies would go extinct by
themselves if merchandisers didn't know their clientele were stupid
enough to think $1.99 is much cheaper than $2.00.


How does the penny go away?. At $2 you'd pay $2.12 after tax in CT.



Round *up* to the nearest nickel? So $2 becomes $2.15.
