When weighing things like a cereal or cheese, manufacturers round up the weight of the package. If it's 3 lbs 8 oz, they magically label the package at 4 lbs. Because who is going to take their package of cheese home and weigh it to make sure they didn't get ripped off?
When you buy fruits and vegetables they take the exact amount of weight, pounds and ounces, to charge you, because of course they want every last penny out of you. They can't do the magic rounding of weight, because you are standing there watching the screen and you know there is no way on earth you picked up exactly 2 lbs of bananas.
Some banks round down the dollar amount you spend, and let you keep the change. So if you spend $2.35, you banks only removes $2 and lets you keep the .35. It's almost like that $0.35 doesn't even matter enough to count.
So when you step on the scale you consider these factors. Do I round up? Do I take the pounds and ounces at face value? OR can I be generous, round down, and really make myself feel good about the day?
