Re: Massive Power Outage
Kwok, us Canadians do have one thing to thank American Commerce for.
XX.99
Ever wonder why everything has that lovely 99 cents tacked on at the end?
Same reason for the 9 tenths.
American business realised that most people see 24.99 and think "Oh wow, 24 bucks."
The AVERAGE consumer is stupid enough to think just that.
It might be a buck difference, but factor in tax (which Canada pays more of), and factor in a dollar here, a dollar there, and yet another dollar over there too.... and thats a lot of money.
