They won&#039;t go away.</b> If you buy <i>one</i> item that&#039;s priced at 99 cents, it&#039;ll round to a dollar. If you buy a hundred of them, you&#039;ll hand over a hundred-dollar bill, and get back a dollar coin, or a dollar bill if we stay stubborn.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you actually think that, when you go to ring up your cart full of groceries, they&#039;ll round up the price on <i>every item individually</i>? They&#039;ll add up all the prices, and then round your <i>total</i>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
