<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 26053850, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;ve assumed that Walmart uses random prices because they calculate exactly how much they can charge to (a) undercut the competition and (b) maintain a profit margin. And then, of course, beat down their suppliers a few more cents per item, and repeat the process.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s no reason to expect them to pick nearest-five-cent prices. As I&#039;ve said, most people don&#039;t buy just one item, and most people don&#039;t use cash. Accounting will still be to the nearest cent, until the country as a whole rolls over, acknowledges reality, and resets the currency to reflect actual purchasing power. And I&#039;m currently trashing any bingo card I&#039;m dealt that has &quot;country acknowledges reality&quot; as a key square.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
