Sorry about that. I did not think that word was too foul, but there`s nothing wrong with running a tight ship regarding the language.

 

exactly. Bill comes to $16.36, you give 'em $16.

Anyway, it's an outrageous policy. Sometimes when I worked at a bakery I would round to the nearest cent (if the customers change was 0.49 I would sometimes give them 0.50 - especially if there was a line) - but the nearest dollar, that's just absurd.

 

yep - I wonder what that adds up to over time, say, just a year...

 

...and don't forget they could actualy control the out come to better the shop, just by the prices on the menu...

 

The US IRS (Internal Revenue Service) has been allowing this procedure on income tax returns for years.

 

Averaging is a bit different than making everything on the menu > **.50...
Milk: $1.51
Soda: $2.65
Etc... See my drift

Not really. You have to follow the rules. 49 cents round down. 50 cents round up. Enough 50's exactly, the IRS comes out ahead.

This IRS has that policy, but the taxpayer has the choice of whether or not to round to the nearest dollar, or use the cents amount. With this restaurant, there is apparently no choice, and the customer can apparently be unwittingly shortchanged.
