    I always round up the price when I see $X.99 but my grandmother always rounds it down and it pisses me off

    They’re trying to fool you! Don’t be a sheep!!!

      I always round way up because sales tax is so high here. 17.99 = $20. I’m usually within the $1 range when I check out.

              The other argument I’ve heard is so that people will see how much the government is taking from them, and be angry about it. This would be particularly useful for politicians who campaign on smaller government.
