How about .05?

And ... I'd be willing to wager, the average consumer, would NEVER of
thought about trying to find that limit.

Because think about it a second longer.

Say 100,000 people didn't pay their bill correctly to the tune of  5 cents
left over , AND it was a final bill, because that's what we are talking
about there. Final bills. Active accounts don't count, because they add the
amount on to the next bill. Anyway, that's $5,000.

Cost of bulk postage: approx 35 cents.

35 x 100,000 = $35,000

Cost of paper + envelope to mail out said bill: approx 25 cents

25 x 100,000 = $25,000

Then you got countless hours of labor collecting that last nickel.

Total cost to collect $5,000?  Over $60,000 minimum

You still going to tell me that it doesn't make business sense to have a
fail-safe in place?


No wonder some businesses need bailouts ... :)
