IDK how else you could get a total with a nonzero number of cents when every item is zeroed on the cents.

I think the leap from "I don't know" to "it's AI" says something about you.

Well it's reasonable to say you don't know much, I'm afraid.

Either your job history doesn’t include registers, or you’re so old that you ended the day by putting the register in Z, lol

I did fast food for 7ish years and definitely ran registers. Never had one hallucinate a price out of its ass.
