Why does the register round to 5 cents?
- Checked on
There is no 1-cent coin any more: a cash payment is rounded to the nearest 5 cents, after tax. Only the cash part of a payment is rounded: item prices, taxes and any payment that is not cash, such as a gift card or store credit, stay exact to the cent. The Cash window already shows the rounded amount: just take that amount.
