Don't remind me again today

The penny's been around since 1793, right? Well, not anymore—minting just stopped under new directives. But here's the real question: what happens to that classic 99-cent price tag strategy retailers love? Does it vanish overnight?



And there's another wrinkle nobody's talking about—sales taxes. Most states calculate tax on the final price, and those pennies matter when you're rounding. Are we looking at everything jumping to dollar increments? Will businesses absorb the difference or just round up?

Seems like a small change on the surface, but the ripple effects could reshape retail pricing psychology entirely. Curious to see how merchants adapt.

How long can this trap of 99 cents last? It feels like merchants need to change their tactics.

Wait, has penny really been discontinued? How are we supposed to play the 99 cent trap now... merchants will have to come up with new tricks again, right?

With a score of 99, the strategy dies, how long will retailers cry... It was originally a psychological battle, but now rounding down and up is so harsh.

Wait, has the penny really been discontinued? Doesn't that mean the 99 cent pricing strategy is directly gg... What are the merchants going to do?

Damn, is a penny really going to disappear? How are we going to play this trap of 99.9 then?
