This is a falsehood believed by engineers for nebulous reasons largely founded in naivety about business. Businesses routinely offer the same service at multiple price points. Virtually every input in your business is offered at multiple price points, from paper to telephone service to your Internet connection to your VPSes to... you get the general drift. Variable pricing is an observable and unremarkable fact of life. It causes virtually no drama.

Want to get a free shake from McDonalds? Buy a shake. Consume it. Take a napkin from the napkins, put it in the shake cup, bring it up to the counter, and say "I am dissatisfied with my shake, because it has napkins in it. I want a new shake." You will get a new shake. Why does every customer at McDonalds ever not scam McDonalds for free everything? Partially because they have principles, partially because they fear social opprobrium, partially because they are unaware of the opportunity, partially because they just can't even conceive of why any sane person would scam McDonalds for free shakes, but it is an observable fact that McDonalds collects revenue for nearly all shakes despite there being (numerous) pathways to stealing them.
As I discovered last week, even if you throw your half-full drink on the floor thanks to shaky-handed incompetence, walking up to the counter apologising profusely and asking for a mop will achieve the same result. Along someone else for you to apologise to when they arrive to mop up your mess.
