Do they not teach significant digits in burgerfat physics? If I am eating alone at a place that does this, I order the second most expensive dish and walk out two minutes later. Then I call the GM the morning after, tell him what I did, and laugh in his ear.

>>15101597
Converting prices to whole numbers because the price looks less intimidating and more chic. Dollar signs are optional too.
And then they add a single significant digit for no reason when they want to attach 50 cents to it.
If you're going to call $12.50 '12.5', then $13.00 had fucking better be '13.0'. Yes, I am autistic about this. Yes, I have really ordered expensive items and walked out over this.

But OPs image doesn't demonstrate what he's even bitching about.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 23:14:22 2020 No.15101684 >>15101626 I'm not denying being autistic. It's still an extremely questionable design choice. Lately I've been seeing fucking mall food court places putting up whole numbers now that $10+ menus are being realized in the low-end.
