For people who want to use Bitcoin as a currency instead of a hobby, yes, it's too complicated.

Milk = mBTC15
Expensive wine = BTC0.99
Basic Membership = uBTC 999
Silver Membership = mBTC 9.99
Enterprise Membership = BTC 9.99

More likely:

Milk = mBTC15
Expensive wine = BTC0.99
Basic Membership = mBTC 1 (let's be realistic about this one)
Silver Membership = mBTC 10
Enterprise Membership = mBTC 10000 (assuming that a 1000x increase is again reasonable)

In the same way:

Milk = 99c
Expensive wine = $99
Basic membership = $1,000
Silver membership = $10,000
Enterprise membership = $10M

The reality is that people deal with different denominations all the time, just not usually at the same time. If all your groceries are in the mBTC range then they'll all be priced using that range. In the meantime all of the houses for sale will probably be in the kBTC range so will all be priced in that range.
