<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2637328, member: 77639&quot;]First, rounding can go up or down.&nbsp; It&#039;s actually the total tab that is rounded, not the individual items.&nbsp; So creative pricing will be to the merchant&#039;s advantage only if one item is bought.&nbsp; So, if an item is priced at 1.03 and one is bought, yup, the merchant gains 0.02 if rounded to 1.05.&nbsp; But if two are bought, the total is rounded to 2.05 and the merchant loses.&nbsp; In addition, rounding occurs only if paying in cash.&nbsp; Any other form (credit, debit, check), there is no rounding.&nbsp; Throw-in that merchants still have to compete with each other on price, and the idea that rounding is going to rip-off consumers is just a boogieman.&nbsp; It&#039;s not happening in Australia or Canada.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
