Man, I hate when people like you come out with "justifications" like these.

No. They should be banned. Trying to "justify" their existence with "well umm, sometimes you can just talk to other customers for theirs!" is fucking stupid.

Why are we so eager to do the work of our oppressors for them?

I don't see a "justification" in my reply. I cannot change or influence the system, I need the discounts - so I do that.
