Your previous post comes to mind. How much money do you spend on mind-altering drugs everyday?

From Costco?
Does that mean you can buy them in bulk? Like a whole crate worth of baseballs signed by Babe Ruth?

I suggest you place an order for three and see what happens next.

The .99 is a holdover from mechanical cash registers. It forced the clerk to open the drawer and return a penny change, thus reducing employee theft.

Not likely. All the employee had to do was keep a few pennies with them.
I worked with Point-of-Sale in a business very prone to employee theft (Dry Cleaning Software). There were several anti-theft protocols, depending upon how the store was operated. To do something akin to what you speak of, they posted a sign "$5 credit if you don't get your receipt" which forced the employee to ring up the sale to generate a receipt.
the .99 is just like the price of gasoline, for example $1.999/gal . It give the impression of being lower in cost then $2.00/gal. All psychological. New/Used car prices, etc. One store, Costco I believe, actually uses them to encode a products fate. I forgot the rules, but if it ended in .97 it was being discontinued, in .99 it wasn't, and some others. Maybe a different store.
It's all marketing. Social engineering.

I held back a while but the thought keeps returning. Having read this Lounge Post[^] I realize that you need to institute a strict code of speaking only well of coffee and it's legitimate derivatives.
Considering the post's possible detrimental affects on minors, it's clearly not KSS. For those of us who are normal (in the programmers sense of the word) it is abusive and even heretical. I don't recall any such posts in the SoapBox - and that's really saying something ! This topic, for any others who may harbor similar perversions, is the true value of "Don't Ask - Don't Tell".
In the name of all that is good, right, and smells wonderful, it is time for you to act with righteous vigor!

I've never understood why some people are proud to be addicted to the most popular legal drug in the world.

Most of the developers I have worked with do not drink coffee. When I started in my career that was not what I was expecting.

We may disagree an awful lot on most things but I always appreciate that you keep your CP Indentiy intact.
Some seem to need to keep crawling under a different rock, now and then, but their signature will be recognized soon enough.
