Mickey D's announced rounding to the nearest nickle.

The mob is outraged. Yup. I saw that coming. "Outraged" over a couple of cents, when, they will probably benefit from the rounding as often as it costs them more. And, what is 1 cent now anyway?

McDonald’s change update

Menu prices will stay the same, but the entire order total will be rounded depending on the change. The sign on Reddit explained how the rounding will work:

If the order price ends in 1 or 2 cents, it will be rounded down to 0 cents.
If the order price ends in 3 or 4 cents, it will be rounded up to 5 cents.
If the order price ends in 5 or 0 cents, exact change will be given.
If the order price ends in 6 or 7 cents, it will be rounded down to 5 cents.
If the order price ends in 8 or 9 cents, it will be rounded up to 10 cents.
