They're all easily solvable problems. The issue, as GP mentioned, is that the pennies are just stopping without the thought through these problems and planning for the solutions. This was done via a social media post, not a well thought out transition like Canada had.
If they're easily solvable then why do you need planning?
Changing the currency on a whim by executive fiat is stupid, but that's just principle. In practical terms, I really have a hard time caring about the problems this specific change creates.

Easily solvable problems still need coordination. Do you want to go to one store and have your change rounded up then go to another and have it rounded down?

That's not an "issue". That's the way things that actually happen, happen.

SNAP is a major source of revenue for grocers so it seems like you wouldn't have to prod them very hard to do that.
