What Paul says is true though. I receive the Sky Cinema channels for virtually nothing, but this isn't costing VM or Sky anything as I wouldnt pay for them anyway.

In fact, as this was done by way of an apology for the way that frontline staff treated me, it could be argued that this concession actually makes them money, as without it, I would probably have closed multiple accounts over time.

If someone steals a bar of chocolate from a shop instead of buying it, the shop has lost the full cost of the product. However, if the person wouldn't/couldn't afford to buy it and stole it, the shop has only lost the cost of the chocolate at trade price.

There's multiple ways of looking at things.
