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?

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 cons out there than the fact I get a small discount on my tv/broadband they’d be exposed to.

Not sure you understand the capabilities of vulnerable adults. Those that are incapable of managing are often looked after by advocates who are looking after too many people to take time to haggle for discounts.
Less vulnerable are capable of bill paying but may not be savvy enough to avoid ending up with more than they wanted, rather than pay less. Should we encourage infantilising them, because businesses are greedy?
