Some states have laws that don't allow them to round up. Something to do with charging more for cash versus card purchases or cash versus benefits (like EBT). Some places are doing the sensible thing and rounding up/down more fairly regardless of the law, with the assumption that no one will call them on it. (A lawsuit costing more than the pennies are worth.)

Congress has had a bill just sitting around since April to make the rounding fair... But even on things everyone basically agrees with they still can't do anything.

so many stupid issues in the US due to this half-assed federal system

I agree, but any system where the primary "do something" branch just does nothing is going to have problems eventually.
