Lemme share something with you people.
Eggs are still stupid cheap, today. However, there are too many greedy people between the producer and people that need them for eating.
My everyday job has me go around to places most will not go and one day I discovered an egg farm, somewhat off the beaten path, that sells directly. Only requirement is that they sell a minimum of thirty eggs (a tray).
I made a few questions and now I’m bringing eggs weekly from there, invoiced to me by weight. No size distinction but most eggs are L size. Roughly speaking, each egg is 0,1667€, with VAT already included. The same egg in supermarkets is sold anywhere between 6 to 11 cents more expensive.
That’s too much.

I started driving in the 90s. I remember my favorite local gas station closing because their gas pumps could only go up to $0.999

I can 100% guarantee that that is not why they closed. Adding an extra decimal point to assign isn’t in trouble. Handling an order of magnitude of change to your pricing structure, however, isn’t.

I’m from Australia and remember when gas hit $1/litre in the 90s. The pumps could handle it, but the signs only had space for two digits (cents) so petrol stations (as we call them in Australia) had a hand-painted “1” at the start of the price, until they could upgrade the signs.
