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.
