For age it is common and explicit. Senior discounts for instance, and a bit less explicitly, student discounts. It feels better when it is framed as a discount, but it is equivalent to overcharging those who don't get the discount.
For the other categories, it is usually not explicit, but it definitely happens, especially when haggling is involved.
- coldtea 6mo agoNot the same, in fact the exact opposite. Student and senior discounts are meant as support/benefits/encouragment, to the poorer and weaker. The commercial version is about the inverse: skinning every group as much as possible.
