Arithemetically rounding the total payment up to the nearest Pound.

E.g. £10.00 when the real total is £9.87.

She's referring to a practice that has crept into some restaurants and shops of trying to persuade you to pay a rounded-up price, with the difference going to some charity or other, at the press of "Yes" on the bank-card reader.

It's rather insidious, a lot more manipulative than old trick of placing a charity coin-collecting box next to the till.

Oh they round up the change to the nearest dollar and take it for charity

@corta24 the stores usually do it.. like if something was 1.50$ or 1.80$ or whatever they round it up to the next dollar and keep the change "for charity"
So they charge an extra dollar and keep the change instead of giving it to the customer
