Bah!

Through no fault of mine, but through faulty packing for transit, I recently had to return damaged goods to Amazon who was charged with their safe delivery.

From my refund they deducted $0.81, calling it a 'Promotional Discount Deduction'. 

Lest you think that is of no consequence, may I remind you that many years ago the banks were convinced to stop the predatory practice of rounding off the fractions of pennies in their favor.

That caper had been making them big bucks.
