It involves going out your way and buying at the opportune moment, even declining an opportunity to purchase from time to time.

Unless you live 24/7 in a supermarket the rationale stands. You can walk way and come back if there’s a better price that suits you. They don’t issue retrospective refunds to people who miss discounts, do they?

I would never pay full and will happily switch supplier if retentions can't do anything for me.
It’s not rocket science. If someone is so vulnerable as to be incapable of straightforward capitalist transactions then surely family members or the social care system should be involved? There’s far greater cons out there than the fact I get a small discount on my tv/broadband they’d be exposed to.
