With no pennies, makes no sense, unless ofter tax it hits 0.05 or .10 intervals.
But also most people fo pay debit or credit nowadays in Canada, and then pennies do count.

With cash it would round up or down, with card it would be whatever the price is. The servers all said the same thing - its stupid and doesnt make sense. The menu prices should have been rounded to the nearest five for aesthetics.

Where did they ditch pennies?

The banks. Now businesses either lose pennies or make pennies on every transaction. Its usually the latter which is why some people go out of their way to use debit.

For example if the price comes to $15.83 and you pay with cash itll cost you $15.85. The business isnt entitled to that extra $0.02 on every transaction so people will use their card on principle.
