This bill would stop stores from rounding up the total when you pay with cash and don't have exact change. Instead, they would have to round down to the nearest nickel. This change would affect anyone who shops at retail stores in Philadelphia and pays with cash.

Amending Title 9 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Regulation of Businesses, Trades and Professions," by adding provisions prohibiting retail establishments from rounding transaction totals upward when a customer tenders cash without exact coinage, and requiring rounding downward to the nearest five-cent increment; all under certain terms and conditions.
