Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Finding a sale or discount on a product is not an example of price discrimination. Price discrimination involves charging different prices to different customers for the same product or service based on factors like age, income, or location. In this scenario, the individual is simply taking advantage of a temporary sale that is available to all customers. The other options all involve some form of price discrimination, such as offering discounts for certain groups or charging different prices based on travel dates.
