99 Cents Only Stores Raise Prices To 99.99¢, Narrowly Avoid Having To Buy New Signs

The only deception here will be when the person at the register charges $1.00 per item instead of $0.9999 each. For 51 items, they'll be overcharging by a penny:

51 x $0.9999 = $50.9949 which correctly rounds to $50.99
51 x $1.00 = $51

I wonder if most cash registers can even handle four places after the decimal.
