When I lived with my ex-wife, I always ordered more or larger, and when at home, Id make more of whatever. Always. First couple of years i simply got annoyed, then I realized I couldn’t fight it, so samity prevailed.

When will we ever get rid of the .95 or.99 in every price… I guess never.
Im amazed it somehow works and the consumer buys more when using this system.

You’re living in a world where people want the quarter pounder over the third-pound-burger because 4 is bigger than 3. Math isn’t people’s strong point.

I rather have that than the prices excluding tax

If this is a US restaurant, those prices still don’t include tax.

I’m just waiting for the US to join the rest of the world in including tax in the price.

Someone on Reddit said taxes in the US is more complicated. Some people have senior discounts, business can buy things tax free, and veterans have military discounts. Tons of upvotes.
This stupid considering a lot of countries have the same discounts and they just subtract those things from the listed price.
The only reason why I can think of why the US does this is so when they compare prices to other states or other countries, they can trick people that it’s the same price.

That’d be nice, a number of places do, but it isn’t mandated. I also liked it when places did their prices so the totals would come to a quarter. So a total couldn’t come out to be anything other than 10.25 or something, so you never had to deal with change outside quarters.

It still works on people, so probably never.
Unless there’s a real term for this, “functional math illiteracy” is a thing. If people can get by with reading a 5th-grade level, they absolutely can get by with calculating at a 2nd or 3rd-grade level. Rounding, fractions, multiplication, are probably out of reach for more people than you think.
I once new someone with dyscalculia, which is way worse than all that, and they worked behind a cash register for a living.

I really hope the US discontinues the penny. Might curb this. Probably won’t because marketing works…

didn’t change anything in Canada. places still price to x.95
when I find a restaurant that actually prices to a flat dollar and is decent, they become a favourite

Just coinage in general. It’s so fucking useless. Like. I can see keeping quarters for infrastructure reasons. But those washing machines will die someday not too far off.
