> most people have taken Econ 101

Er. Um. No, most people have not taken Econ 101. Most graduates have not taken Econ 101. Most graduates in quantitative disciplines have not taken Econ 101.

Most people with economics degrees have taken Econ 101. A modest number of other people have. Some more have learned the basic concepts by means other than taking Econ 101. These are probably not the people complaining about price discrimination.

In any case, being surprised when people are upset because they think they're getting inferior treatment and saying "oh, but they should think of the gain in overall economic efficiency" seems like a sign of, well, not having taken Psych 101.

I took Econ 101 - but the only reason I did so was because it was one of the only two classes available in high school that offered college credit.

If it didn't give me three hours of credit, I probably would have ended up with Texas History, or something similar.

And everyone has taken Psych 101...
