Here's a news story that has me conflicted: Chipotle is rounding its receipts off to the nearest nickel. Which eliminates pennies

Posted by TWuG Aug 30 '12, 19:00

I want the penny eliminated and Chipotle is operating exactly as businesses would if that was done. So, yay!

Except they didn't really tell their customers that they were doing it. So, boo!

I think I heard a report earlier that, due to customer protests, they would only round down from now on. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 30, 19:20
Almost every local gas station I go to does this. I try to round off on my deliveries as well if I can. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 19:16
They really should get rid of them. I'm waiting to Aus to catch up and get rid of the 5c piece -- nm - Karl_S Aug 30, 19:15
They missed an opportunity. Could have rounded up and tagged the money to be donated quarterly to local charity food banks. -- nm - JenBro Aug 30, 19:04
the problem starts when they only round up, they could always just give a nickel instead of 2 cents back -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 19:03
They should round to the quarter. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 19:02 3
- it says they do in some spots. - Reagen Aug 30, 19:04 2
  - Just another way for them to nickel and penny us to death. -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 30, 19:15 1
    - if you round both up and down, it evens out completely. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 19:16
