I can see how say, a roofing business might have a “VIP” sale during a slow season, such that a discounted contract is signed and money is exchanged in the future when the weather doesn’t prohibit the work.

I don’t think that is unreasonable.

The season is the same for all customers, so that isn't surveillance pricing.

I can see how a roofing business might buy your online shopping history, deduce that you drive a Lexus, and bump up their prices. Then profile you as not very handy, and cut corners knowing you won’t spot the issues.

As opposed to just using Google Maps or driving by your house? Those options are a lot cheaper.

Garages exist.

They do.

Were you trying to make a point there?
