Your point is valid but arguing with the shopkeeper for 1 Rupee is useless as they dont have coins with them, so mostly we settle with rounding up. Honestly speaking, shops nearby are of known persons and they do give discounts and sometimes, leave 1-2 rupee at our end and sometimes, we have to do vice-versa, that how it works here for me.
But for shopping at big stores, I never use cash just because of .99 and 159 such prices, it is better to pay through card / POS machine which deduct the actual amount from our account.
I still have many coins in my drawers which I use to count after every 3-4 months to change them into notes.

I am a soft teddy bear from inside. When I argue, I know the shop keeper is just being greedy for 1 more rupee. So I don't force them magically make coins appear, I know they have in their storage. They are just not returning to sell another candy.
hahaha that is so cruel and yes, this thing should get stopped. After all, money is money even it is about 1cent. The person who works hard all day understand the true value of each and every penny. On the other hand, if a person is short of 1 cent then shopkeeper don't leave that single penny on him.
You have shared the reality but honestly speaking, people don't take this thing seriously at all.
