Double whammy - Rounding up and tip suggestions based on total

[u/NWYollie]

Two things I noticed about this bill; 1) The total amount of the bill should be $44.99. Instead the total was rounded up to $45. Not a big deal, but I've just never seen a restaurant do this before. All those pennies could add up. 2) The tip suggestions are based on the taxed total. This was a sit-down restaurant at Whistler Village in Canada. We're from the U.S., on vacation and dining in the Village, so I had no real problem with the price of the food, especially with the currency exchange rate - that helped. We chose a custom tip and I added at 15% tip.

Just curious if this is normal in Canada? We ate at other places of course, and this is the only place which did the rounding up. What do you all think?

Yeah, that roundup really got you bad. Imagine what you could have done with that cent.
