PA-PLAYA Rickochet Yep. If we can send a man to the moon, we have enough bright minds to figure out this sales tax crap and get everyone onboard.

DC300 The uproar would be huge.. for a minute.. then the Democrats could just orchestrate another story to distract from the fact that it will cost Americans upto 4% more for every transaction from here on out and boom, problem solved.
candukid DC300 We round up and down. For example if the bill is $1.22 it is $1.20 cash. $1.23 and its $1.25 If you are paying by debit card or credit it is $1.22. Very easy really. it doesn't make everything 4% higher.
potbunker PA-PLAYA A nickel for your thoughts. .01 is a waste of money but beneficial teaching math. Dump it.
DC300 candukid that’s downright sensible. I was figuring American greed would mean it all rounds to the highest 5.
potbunker Par4QC Actually, "1 is the loneliest number that you will ever do." Irrational numbers are my favorite, which also applies to my golf game.
DC300 meagain “upto 4%” but it’s always possible it rounds up 4 cents, unless you go to the common sense method of rounding up and down.
MidwayJ ZWExton Spoken like a true twenty something. One of the courses I play has a $5.00 minimum amount for debit/credit card charges because of you people. 🙂
Rickochet MidwayJ One of the courses I play has a $5.00 minimum amount for debit/credit card Makes good business sense. These businesses have to pay a fee when YOU use your card for a small charge. Just carry some cash, duh?
ZWExton MidwayJ I can't remember the last time I went anywhere and spent less than $5, so I'm in the clear!
professor Rounding up would be good for the economy and we wouldn't feel penny pinched one bit. (This comment from a one time penny pincher. I pinch nickels nowadays. LOL
sdandrea1 Send them all to me. When I buy stuff here for $12 shipped I can pay by sending 1200 pennies in USPS small flat rate boxes.
