I will go out of my way to go to stores where things are *exactly* $5 or $10. No change. It makes me so happy and I have no idea why.

it speaks to our primal urge for fair and physical transactions! “yessir i give you this rock and you give me that meat” no silly extra pieces floating around as “””change”””

Damn, this makes so much sense. I love simplicity. Now I’m mad that I don’t live in this world.
