Do you mean rounding off in the customer's favor? Or do they also round
off in their favor sometimes (giving you less change than you're due)?

In Ohio, I've seen merchants round off in the customer's favor to
avoid using pennies. For example, if the bill is $5.03 and you hand
them a $5 bill, the clerk might say "close enough" or "don't bother
with the pennies". But I've never had a clerk do this if the
difference is more than a few cents.
