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!!!

Because it is how we see prices. It takes a bit of effort to see it as 20.
They may list it as $19.99 but I'm always going to call it twenty bucks and eleven cents.
But you get a penny back, isn't that great?
I think it's just so that pennies circulate
