What do you assign to Mordor?

The previous post was by me. I didn't realize that my sis was signed in. LOL. Fail.

When you see that you're the only Downer online. Not even the invisible people are around.

Edit: huh, while I was posting two other people appeared. *crosses fingers for a new post*

I would assign the stores/shops that write $x.99 instead of just rounding it up a penny and having a nice round number. Why do they have to write $4.99 instead of $5.00?

Except that if I would assign that, all the shopping would be done in Mordor.

having your assigned parking space be under a tree full of strange berries and pigeons that poop all over your windshield. Then, having to work on the truck while laying on all those strange berries, and every time you sweep, the pigeons move around and knock down more berries. What's worse is, the berries have pits in them that dig into my back.

It's psychological. You're more likely to buy if you see the smaller first number. Scientifically proven in studies, of course. Secondarily, because of sales tax. Everybody knows it's going to be over $5 anyway.

Apart from Marks and Spencer (but that is not JUST a shop). They realised that we aren't stupit and did away with that a long time ago. Also here the ticket price is what you pay unless it is somewhere which deals mainly with trade where they may show ex-VAT price.

So when I first went to the states and was ignorant of Sales Tax I thought it was rip off a tourist time..

Haha, yes, here if it says it costs $0.99 they really mean around $1.12.
