"Chipotle Mexican Grill Restaurants Drop The Penny"
The New YorkTimes - Aug 2012
We would like to take our hats off to several Chipotle Restaurants for taking the initiative and removing the penny
from their restaurants. Initally, they tried rounding up or down to the nearest nickel, but received a few negative
comments when the customers tab was rounded up by .02 cents, so those restaurants changed to just round down to the
nearest nickel. Their fractional losses during the day are far out weighed by the labor savings in not having to
count pennies in their cash draw at the end of each shift.
Way to go Chipotle. We salute those Chipotle restaurants who are doing this. Wish all would do it.

"Thirty Below Leather"
Shopper Testimonial - Aug 2006
We would like to take our hats off to Thirty Below Leather store in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado for taking the initiative by removing
the penny (and all coins) from their store. They just didn't see the need for any change. All merchandise in their store is intentially
priced so as to come out to an even dollar amount between $1 to $29 (including tax) at the register. That's correct, .. NO Change in their
cash register and everything in their store is less than $30 .. thus "Thirty Below Leather".
Way to go Thirty Below Leather. We salute you for what you are doing. Wish more stores would do this.

purchase.
Way to go 5 Napkin Burgers. We salute you for what you are doing. Wish more stores would do this.
