Thank you!

No worries!

Hey, can I get Gamedec? That looks like the exact type of game I'm looking for this weekend.

I avoid using single use bottles, but when I do, I often crush them after I'm finished to save space, so they don't blow away and roll around as easily, and to save space in the recycling.

Do they not take crushed bottles where you live?

I've never liked Uline. Their prices always seem to be way higher than they should be. The only reason to ever use them is for a product you can't find anywhere else - and even then it's worth taking a second or third look first.

Absolutely.

There's probably someone out there who paints their gold miniatures.

It's pretty cool that this tech basically hasn't changed in 3000 years.

Yes, that's why you pay with credit/debit. To avoid the round up.

I changed "will" to "would" to hopefully make it more clear.

Think he'll eat crow when Trump brings it up again in the next couple of days? My prediction: "If CANADA wants in on my GOLDEN DOME they can become the 51st state. It's a GREAT DEAL for them. Free military which frankly they're already getting. They're ROBBING US BLIND and they want our dome too. I don't know why they're so against it. They can be part of the greatest country. It wasn't the greatest, not under Sleepy Joe but poor guy was being abused, and now it is again. It's the greatest and we'll have the best dome and they can be the 51st state if they want it. "

We follow normal rounding rules in Canada. 1, 2 round down to 0. 3, 4 round up to 5. 6, 7 round down to 5. 8, 9 round up to 10.

Can you game the system? Yes!

As a business, make sure all your prices (plus tax) come to a price ending in 3, 4, 8, or 9. When consumers buy a single item you'll get the rounding up (edit: if they pay cash) and make sweet, sweet profit. But if they buy more than one item, you're SOL on controlling the rounding.

As a consumer, you have way more control. First, pay with cash whenever the price will round down and you can probably "profit" 5 or so dollars a year. (Assuming you pay with cash on or two times a day, saving 1 to 2 cents each time.) Pay with credit or debit each time the price ~~will~~ would round up.

Second, you can get real fancy. You can learn tax rules in depth so you know what items will or won't be taxed and at what rate (we have federal and provincial taxes but they don't apply to everything and they don't follow the same rules on what is taxed.) But, you can use this info to always know what the final bill will be and always buy combinations of items that end in 2 or 7 (or 1 and 6 if you're lazy) and always pay cash. You can profit like $20 a year or something doing this.

In reality? No one gives a shit until that one rare time you're paying with cash and it rounds down. It's your lucky day and you do the Six Flags Man dance. It's like finding a penny and picking it up.

And no, you don't, I do.
