You really could use the argument that you pay full price for a product because you want to support the company in all sorts of situations.

“I never buy anything on sale at Macy’s because I’m afraid they will go out of business and I like the lines of clothes they carry.”

“I allow frequent flyer miles to expire because I would hate to see Alaska Airlines go out of business. If everyone flies for free, they can’t possibly make any money.”

“I pay full sticker price on cars I buy because I support American auto makers. If they give me too big of discount, they will go out of business.”

“I refuse to shop at Costco because they negoiate significant price discounts from their vendors and they can’t make any money at the price Costco pays them.”

“I won’t use OpenTable because the restaurants will no longer make a profit, will all go out of business, and then we won’t be able to go out to eat anymore.”
