LACROSSE, Wis. — The convenience store giant Kwik Trip has adjusted cash registers to round off cash purchases down to the nearest nickel. So, for example, a $30.49 gas fill-up will become $30.45. Scott Zietlow, chief executive, said Kwik Trip is getting rid of pennies ahead of a pending federal policy to stop minting pennies.To be sure, Kwik Trip will still be charging credit-card purchases at the exact penny: $30.49 will remain $30.49.
