Your example is true if you only have 1 million transaction each of 95 cents each.&nbsp; But in the real world that doesn&#039;t happen.&nbsp; There are purchases of multiple items at one time and of different amounts and prices where sometime the 7% rounding up and sometimes down (and I&#039;m not talking about the final rounding yet just the tax itself rounding to the nearest cent)&nbsp; Then when it comes to the final rounding to the 5 cent how are you going to do that?&nbsp; Real would the cash register does it internally.&nbsp; The program is already built into them and it rounds up or down to the NEAREST 5 cent.&nbsp; If you plan on always rounding up, since the machine doesn&#039;t have such a program, your cashier is going to have to look the customer right in the eye and ask for from 1 to 4 cents MORE than the cash register says they owe.&nbsp; How is that going to go over in the real world?&nbsp; Then the cashier has to explain to the customer why it is store policy to charge them more than they are supposed to pay.&nbsp; (Of course they could go to the expense of having a custom program made just for them and installed in their cash registers.) Then they have to do so again with the next customer then the the next and the next etc.&nbsp; I forsee angry customers.&nbsp; And real world a smart competitor uses the round up and down option, ends up with lower prices and takes the first stores customers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
