I read that supermarkets are abandoning the 99p price point in favour of a round pound as this makes the products appear cheaper and reflects a more honest business practice .

我在一篇文章中读到，超市正放弃以99便士作尾数的定价，转而选择整数价，因为这会让商品价格看上去更低一些，也体现出一种更诚实的商业行为。

If this theory is true , then we should not expect to see those 99p endings in shops manned by their owners , nor at internet shops where shoplifting is impossible .
