<p>[QUOTE="expat, post: 4905412, member: 111067"]The old psycological thought about a price of, for example, 1.99 being seen as more financially attractive in the mind than 2.00 is still valid today. But there was another reason behind it. A lot of early supermarkets in the 60´s promoted it to minimise stealing by staff. They had to ring in a sale to get the one cent change for the customer, instead of pocketing the money from someone paying the exact amount on items priced in whole numbers[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
