I was going to write something about the medieval concept of the "fair price" but I was bored with the sentences before I even started :o)
And on the "if they'll pay it" front I do have some sympathy there. In the case of medical insurance then if every company does it taking your business out of the market could get you killed. In the case of cosmetics then, while I feel it's something that can be avoided, people do feel the weight of expectation. Women are under a lot of pressure to keep up appearances. With so much of society dedicated to making people, and women more so, feel like shit about themselves so, amongst other things, they'll buy stuff to make it better, then this kind of bullshit continues apace.
I like to think that we're better than this... maybe I'll turn out to be right one day. Then again, I'm on-line and waffling at twenty to seven on a Saturday morning, so what the hell do I know?

Also, commas. Fucking hell.
