People don't like being ripped off.

Price discrimination is revenue optimization for the vendor, it's not eliminating some efficiency -- it's steering me to part with more of my economic resources.

I expect the kind of behavior from a salesperson with whom I am negotiating -- that's a customary way to do business in that model.

In the United States, we learn about fixed-cost in the grocery store -- an apple cost $1 whether I have $0.50 or $5,000 in my wallet. When I'm buying a product or service on what appears to be a fixed-cost basis, I perceive your "pricing discrimination" as taking advantage of me.
