I LOLed a little when I realized you really thought for a moment something like this could be illegal in the US.
(I have assumed you are in the US, as everyone else that does not specify the country in a topic that is clearly country specific)
- ghaff 5y agoWhy would you think price discrimination in various forms doesn't routinely happen in just about any country in the world?
- pokot0 5y agoOf course it does. It's just that in my experience living for extended periods in both US and Europe, consumer protection laws are a lot more advanced in Europe. It feels like business regulation in Europe is driven (mostly) by consumer benefit, while in the US is driven by corporate benefit (which a lot of US voters believe it equates to consumer benefit; you know jobs, etc) Also the US tends to leave a lot more to the market and companies policies are more defined by the legal consequences more than the laws that prevent them to operate in certain manners in the first place.
