Not necessarily, its just the final total that gets rounded up not each item. So the most a business could hope to gain would be 4 cents per every cash transaction, even assuming they only round their prices up.

For a very busy store that did an average of 1 cash transaction every minute that ened up rounding every single transaction up 4 cents, that only translates to an extra $2.40/hour. That's not even enough to hire a minimum wage employee.
