    So is this one of those things where Americans do the common sense thing and agree?

    Or is this the another classic case of a few very loud and emotional Americans screaming with passion and zero logic?

    Or is it one of those situations where everything seems to go smoothly. And then you figure out that they didn’t add the correct rounding regulations, so you’ll be paying a little extra on every single transaction the store puts at .96?

      Here in Canada we got rid of the penny years ago.

      When paying in cash, we round to the nearest 0.05 but with card payments it’s still the exact price.

      Also, the amount of money you’d lose by rounding in a cash transaction is pretty minimal.
