I would much rather pay 2% more than have to deal with pennies. Fuck pennies.

Might as well just kick off the extra digit, then?

Might as well.

We don't even have to change how much we pay by that much, we can keep the extra digit there and just round on the final transaction so it doesn't actually result in a dramatic price change for basic grocery purchases. And if it's really mandatory that we drive out and make a $1.03 purchase then we can just deal with it.
