Wish the US would do that. But every time someone tries you get some congresscritter on the floor of the House crying about it and making dire predictions that the world will end and moaning about how people just need to save them and get rich but are too lazy these days....

If every purchase I make costs me an extra 4 cents, over the course of a year I might spend an extra 17 bucks.

Big whoop.

Pennies are worthless, I've always just tossed them into the garbage.

What am I gonna do, save 100 of them so I can buy one-half of a candy bar? ridiculous.

They should get rid of nickles and dimes as well.

Oh, and require the prices displayed and/or advertised for everything to include sales tax.

Oh, and shelf tags in grocery stores should have to be per item, not this crazy 7/$4.87 crap they are all using these days.

Oh...and get off my lawn!
