No it's not. What kind of hokey, pie-eyed, olde tyme colonial school child view of capitalism are you desperately holding onto? The customer gets charged the maximum they will pay, regardless of any other circumstance.

You and I are going to get charged a certain amount regardless. Theft comes from their bottom line. If you don't steal, you're only giving more money to the rich.
