      Do you normally participate in how companies set their pricing? No.

      Do companies update their pricing? All the time.

      All you don’t like is random people paying different prices. It’s not unethical, it is normal business practice, whether you are ignorant of it or not.

        Something being normal business practice doesn’t make it ethical.
