So you never patronize any business that uses the .99 and .95 pricing schemes? Gas stations are the worst offenders with their sub-penny pricing schemes.

Practically all ads exaggerate to the point of lying. “Luxury apartment for rent” <– just a run of the mill apartment, not luxurious. Etc.

Business culture is a culiure of lies.

Fuck them all. I absolutely do avoid companies that do these things.

  You’re telling me you don’t fill up your car?
  
  Every single gas station in the US of A uses a sub-penny pricing scheme. I have not seen a sigle exception yet.

    I don’t own a car. I take public transit, bike and walk.

  Have you or your parents never used a phone book to look up businesses and ended up calling A1 Plumbing, AAA locksmith, etc?
