I'm starting to get the impression that in CD world only OPs make mistakes, never commenters.
If your mistakes only cost you $0.99 consider yourself fortunate.

So, stop give tips to machines!!
I never have.

Who ever heard of tipping an employee at a check-out machine?

OP didn't admit that this was his mistake.
He is accusing stores of stealing his money.
That's not the same.

Usually a charity or local school. It states that when it asks about rounding up.
I always decline.

I see that all the time. Coffee shops, places where you order food at the counter and pay at the counter.

Stopped at Taco Bell yesterday - ordered from the app on my phone, which asked if I wanted to "round up" to donate to a charity. 54 cents. Sure, why not.
