The 99 pricing messes with me the other way…
I see like 399, and think it’s 400. Then when I think about whether I want it later, I remember the 4 and the 99 and believe it costs 500

Nothing new tbh. How we subconsciously round off numbers is a big part of super market pricing. Everything with a zero at the end seems bigger. Not only does 19.99 seem much smaller then 20, but even 21.99 seems smaller then 20 at a glance.

I’ve never really understood it, tbh. I’ve always rounded to the nearest whole number. I don’t know why you would do anything but that. The whole “$6.99 is $6” thing makes absolutely no sense to me. I see that and immediately see $7, without even having to think about it really.

I figure people stop reading at the decimal point like it’s a period.
