WHY are people who only want to buy one item instead of two or three victimised?

When I returned from shopping the other day, I reckoned up and found I had been charged 98p extra for only wanting one item and buying just one instead of three for the price of two.

I would not mind paying the whole half price for one item in these offers or one or even two pence more, although I don't see why I should.

Would any shopkeeper be good enough to tell me the reason for this practice?

Apart from all this, it is making us a greedy population.
