Seriously, there's no way they didn't choose that shit on purpose.

well the whole psychology of choosing 99 cents was to make you think it's a dollar less than it actually is. Not sure what the utility of the 88 would be

Makes it even more difficult to sum up your purchases, I'm guessing

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

there we go. that makes sense. could also be a nazi dogwhistle. come to think of it, summing up purchases these days is mostly a matter of whether you have a phone on you and can use the calculator app. The smart thing to do though is look at unit prices and not prices. With food/drink at least. You can have something that looks cheaper but the package is just oversized and the price per gram or whatever is the same or higher.

Yeah but I don't think many people take their phone out and add up every individual item they're buying as they buy them. I think it's more common to guesstimate the total price based on how much things usually cost and then bite the bullet if it's a bit higher.

i do the former just so I don't overdraft by accident, because an overdraft fee will just wreck my shit, but yeah talking to other people, you're right
