<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7888483, member: 112"]First off you're making an assumption, one that could as likely go either way. They might do that and they might not, they could just as easily follow the general rules of rounding. Secondly, I would mention that you're already paying considerably more than " a penny more" and always have been. You ever notice how prices always end in a 9 ? So you're worried, complaining, about nothing changing. Thirdly, when you go to the store the amount you pay is based upon your total - not an individual item - the point being only 1 number is being rounded. Not 5 or 10 or 50, so individual sellers could leave their prices for individual items exactly as they were and not change them at all. Why would they do that ? Because they wouldn't be losing anything, or gaining anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bottom line is rounding works for both sellers and buyers because everything equals out.
