They are doing what the law states. What you suggest is illegal. I assume you have never had an issue when they round down (per the law this is what must happen, if they don't they are breaking the law). At the same time there are times they round up. if you pay be credit/debit card then there is no rounding. I suggest for the next month you keep a tally of when they round down and when they round up on you. At a guess the maximum difference will be around $0.10 either in your favor or the merchants. Based on your idea to have everything rounded, you obviously want to pay a lot more (most items are priced at $0.99) when you shop, which seems silly.
Someone needs to ask Rupert what the effect would be on his prices should all the above be implemented. I would guess if PLP win and this comes up many companies will be downsizing before this gets passed and then have no intention of increasing. Anyway as always some good to it as the minimum wage is too low, but a lot terrible in it. We have too many people working dead end jobs waiting to be fired, who won't be as the company is waiting for them to leave as they don't want to or can't do the pay out.
People maybe waking up, but the powers that be aren't. Or are you protected if you are wearing party colors. The charade today at nomination was disgraceful. All involved should be ashamed. How can the powers that be tell the people to be careful if they are out and about with scant regard for any rules. Pathetic. I would hope the newspapers would call them out on this tomorrow, however i am sure it will be all about how great the day was.
And the winner is COVID. Well done all those idiots who want to be MPs so bad they are willing to put peoples lives at risk. At least we know for sure you don't actually care about the Bahamian people.
They are both corrupt. If you deiced only them two are going to win and have to make a choice then choose which one you think is less corrupt. But either way they both corrupt and useless.
Shall wait to see what the agreement says before commentating too much. However would just like to point out that maybe they should get someone to advise them how to put a mask on properly. At least 3 people are not wearing it correctly.
Agreed, i fully expect to see promises of hospitals on every street corner, and state of the art schools everywhere. All great, but no talk about to pay for it. I have already seen one party say they would reduce VAT and increase minimum wage, when asked how Government could afford this they said the increased spending by those whose wages have increased would lead to extra Government revenue (whilst no mention that many of those are Government employees so Government would be losing twice). Anyway i expect they all will say whatever it takes to get elected.
Unfortunately that's one of those that you can basically say FNM will win easily (there are around another 3 at least, and PLP probably have a few more then that).
So the two other people who could have brought in a fixed election date when they were in power, but didn't, now say there should not be a snap election. I take it they don't like Minnis as he has never used them. Seeing as they are part of the group of 3 i blame for the situation of the last 30 years i am happy we didn't have to see them

Wonder how many people will say they took the vaccine because it would meant they would be out of the pandemic? Or was the person saying that lying?
