You think your local convenience store is going to price where everything rounds out to 5 cents?

What I wish is that the US would join the rest of the world in including any/all taxes/fees in the list price. Tacking it on after as a little surprise is fricking retarded. Feel free to include on the receipt what the tax rate and cost was, but bake it into the list price.

If we did that, most of this consternation would go away.

The Penny is taking a seat next to the pay phone.

Don’t know why that came to me that way but there you go

Maybe, but it's kind of dumb not to include taxes in the display price and have all this 2.99 dumb shite. There really is no point in it and it's one of the things Europe does right.

Goods would quickly settle into a standard price.
