They think we are ' simple ' because we see the 4 .... some sort of retail gimmick to play on the masses.
Where's my 1c change 
Edit ... why don't they just mark the price as $5.00 and be done with it. |
Maybe the CEO transfers all the one cents to and account and distributes with his group. The shop gets their $4-99 so those figures add up so even a decent audit must conclude nothing to see here...
And if someone is in charge of a major shopping complex and he is not onto that would you want a mug like that heading the company.
I had a young chap working for me who's father was a publican..the subject came up ( many years ago now) as to what one would pay a manager of your pub...he said "You pay him about $250 week but if he cant sting you for another $100 he is not worth employing"
