It depends on your business model. If you depend on repeat business, extorting the highest possible cheque every time isn't an optimal strategy.

I live in a small quiet town, and I have a couple of neighbourhood cafes and restoraunts where I go several times a week, and most of the customers live nearby, too. Difference in attitude with typical tourist traps is immense. Different business models, different behaviour.

This. I live in Versailles, France and never go to the restaurants which face the castle or to the touristic spots. My feeling (no hard bullets, though) is that they target one - shot customers will win likely never come back but have to eat something. I fear that this something is overpriced and not that good. 2 km away you will find great small restaurants.

I feel what he means to say is that the article is entirely about how to squeeze out profit from customers by psychologically misleading them. Then it claims the exact opposite in the conclusion.
