Overview
- All Kwik Trip and Kwik Star locations now round cash totals down to the nearest five cents.
- Updated registers automatically apply the rounding, while card and digital payments are charged exact amounts.
- Pennies remain legal tender, though cash transactions will still be rounded in the customer’s favor.
- Kwik Trip says the policy will remain until a permanent government solution or legislation is in place.
- The shift follows the U.S. Mint’s final order of penny blanks and planned halt to production, which the AP reports could save about $56 million a year.
