People care less about the dollar value than about reconciling. If there is some external system they should match, they really want it to match exactly.

So, not as much margin as one might think.
A shocking number of people who create tax codes have no idea how many decimal places they are using.
It's probably better now, but I recall having to reverse engineer the tax tables to figure out how many decimal points of accuracy were used, and what rounding rules were used, so we could match their numbers.
These numbers would change from year to year, with no change in the underlying tax codes.
If, however, you don't like to shop, and you do it solely to acquire things, you probably don't like sales.
Very clearly, Ron Johnson was in the latter category, while JC Penney shoppers were in the former.

Fortran had basically the same bug, fifty years ago. https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/254921
Reminds me of the ascii art video codecs!
Ads generate more revenue today, but I can't find good books to buy an Amazon, so I go elsewhere.
It's clear which is better for the customer (and for Amazon long term), but they can't give up on the revenue stream, even if it will eventually kill them (since it drives their customers to other platforms, and provides a place for competitors to grow).
Meeting with friends.
Reading a good book.
It pays better than google.
It does an ok job. Except when it doesn't. Definitely misses a lot of the time, sometimes on prompts that succeeded on previous runs.
Anyone tried this?
And they are looking for one person, who has interesting characteristic, from a covid perspective:

Annoying, but it works.
"It was about 1000 feet, or 304.88 meters". "He was 6 feet tall, or 182.88" meters."
Every single measurement, converted with two or three decimal places. It got old fast.
