Customers are much more tolerant of there being a fixed high price, and some customers being offered a voucher code for 'loyalty' or whatever.

People are fine with being given a discount, but don't like to be charged a premium.

Industries like car insurance have done differential pricing for decades, and consumers have come to accept it.

In my opinion they accept it because they are forced to. I live in an area where the public transit is not built out and my economic opportunities would be drastically limited by not having a car so once a month I unhappily pay more than my peers because of some teenage mistakes.
