(okay, some) and asked him this same question. He took went on about how this was a retail staple and the psychology behind it. Frankly, it still annoys me, too.HighMaintenanceHussyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496619164906722130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10684934.post-1129048729075101532005-10-11T11:38:00.000-05:002005-10-11T11:38:00.000-05:00I read once that this helps people on a psychologi...I read once that this helps people on a psychological level not notice the sting of taxes as much. It's dumb, and yeah, I tend to always round up so I know I can afford said whatevers, but some folk really don't, I know, dumb you'll say, but yeah, it's common enough practice, like putting things in the impulse aisle knowing that product placement amounts to more purchases too. Yet again tho', I loved your writing style for your post, you are a natural writer and I wanna see you make it, sincerely.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446435491941733971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10684934.post-1128998586881651612005-10-10T21:43:00.000-05:002005-10-10T21:43:00.000-05:00Shan I understand your issue.

You're in corporate sludge america and apparently angry about it. You've just not been the same since you came back from the beach and I'd like to give you a cyber hug with a nice rub on the back to say: everything's going to be OK. :kisses:<BR/>;) <BR/><BR/>AshleyMs. Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821241539390274338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10684934.post-1128975893713512802005-10-10T15:24:00.000-05:002005-10-10T15:24:00.000-05:00This is going to be a long, intense fight for you,...This is going to be a long, intense fight for you, my friend.<BR/><BR/>It's stupid...however, you don't consider the lowest common denominator of human.

Unfortunatly, it worked which is why it is still around today.drunkbhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553433777998525748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10684934.post-1128959662176423752005-10-10T10:54:00.000-05:002005-10-10T10:54:00.000-05:00What I don't understand is gas prices.

And it's always a 9. They should throw a 2 up there sometime just for the hell of it.Bashful Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214600575496239770noreply@blogger.com
