In cash transactions prices will be rounded up or down to the nearest 5 or 0
And I can imagine the mad rush to change all posted prices to .03/.08/.13/.18/.23/etc. in the next few days/weeks. I'm willing to bet my 2 cents that the 'rounded ups' will vastly exceed the 'rounded downs.'

Then I guess I'd start doing ALL my shopping with a credit/debit card.
