 Yes, odd, isn't it?
People are often irrational economic actors.

 Very true. Culture plays a role.

I've met a lot of small/medium businesspeople here who unironically brag about how much they're being overcharged, especially if its by a household name. They only keep quiet about how much they are also writing off as bad debts. 

Cringe AND stupid, but it appears to be stable for now...
