why is it the price is always said 99 dollar and change

52dollar and change...if its 99 cents say it...03 cents say it..so tired of AND CHANGE

It's not their money so they don't respect the cents.

I don't care for that term either. "And change" to me makes it seem like three or four cents, not ninety eight or ninety nine cents. To me that's another dollar. Lol a day or so ago I heard a host talk about a product and said that it wasn't supposed to be under $70. I can't remember if it was a OTO or not, but the price was $69.98. Sorry QVC, but that's still $70 to me (more like $80 with shipping and tax)

I think sometimes they can't read the monitor.

I also dislike when they say you can get it home for $12.00. Well, that is just for the first easy pay payment and they don't even say that doesn't include pro-rated tax and pro-rated shipping. HSN is bad about this too. (they add the tax and shipping to the first payment) They make it sound like the item is $12.00 when it could be $60. plus.

I know - that kills me too - they really think we are ""stupid"" - it's insulting - but we still keep ordering - or some of us do - me not so much for a long time!!

This "and change" phrase irritates me a lot. It would make some sense if the "change" was less than 50 cents, but it rarely is, and so the phrase seems deceptive and disingenuous. I realize that this is probably just a version of short-hand from people who talk and sell for a living, perhaps they believe that it sounds cool or hip (yes, these words are probably dating me a little), but it is a habit that could and should be broken.
