<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7848768, member: 100459&quot;]With the cent in place, we will see prices of escalate by a penny up to 4 cents.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t sound like a lot, but, if you multiple the number of purchases made in one day, stores will be able to cash in 1-4 cents on each purchase.&nbsp; In my younger days, when I went to McDonalds or Kentucky Fried Chicken, and others, I had to wait for the cashier calculate how much I owed for my purchase.&nbsp; The cash register was an antiquated piece of equipment.&nbsp; I would always be able to total the cost of my order, with sales tax, before the cashier could finally tell me how much I owed.&nbsp; My wife and my children told me when they were older, how embarrassed they were.&nbsp; Now, they ring up the Big Mac button, fries button, and drink button and then the patron would give them a credit card or currency of which was entered and it would close out the sale with a credit card or the cash register would tell them what the change would be if payment was made with folding money.&nbsp; Some equipment even tells the casher how many of each denomination they would have to return to the patron.&nbsp; </p><p>Whoops!&nbsp; I digress.&nbsp; As far as cents, I asked the cashier at a dollar store what do they do with the pennies at the end of the day that are in their bowl.&nbsp; Most didn&#039;t know, but those that answered thought the manager probably but them in their pocket.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
