totally agree
but when you hear that you are not buying but "picking up" that makes sense right?

YES. Always round up is the correct thing to do. The QVC scam is to round down, ALWAYS, or say $29 and some change.
Yea, I ain't that stupid.

For those that think it's $30 then when asked your your age I bet no one rounds up when close to their birthday or weight even when real close to a higher weight!!!!!

@catlover , I agree. I always round up. Look at gas prices. It's aways the large #'s that attract your attention when it's only 1/10th of a cent from being really a dollar more then your brain sees, IMO.

I never understood that about retail prices. I guess it is to make you feel the item is less. I'd rather the price be rounded to an even number. If they tag it for $23.99-- just put $24.00! I think it's dumb and then if you are paying with cash, there is the penny thing. Seems just all a mind game is all!
