WalMart sells a lot of stuff for 14.88. The pennies in the price are some kind of code, and they're not skipping 88. They do the ".99" thing for the psychology, but then they also use other numbers close to 100.
The 14 is just a coincidence that that's what they want to charge for a DVD.
Wal-Mart sold lots of DVDs last year for the same price.
A whole storage bin of them for 14 dollars and 88 cents each.
Fuck off.

You're probably right about the code--I recently learned Home Depot uses the cents for a similar code.
