unfortunately, this is more about chasing profit. The large ticket items, like the cellphone or laptop that this person is buying, have very small profit margins and so Grumbel’s doesn’t make as much profit from selling JUST the one item.
This is why accessories, protection plans, etc. are focused on more than just making sure that the customer gets the big item they initially wanted. Corporate wants high profits every quarter so that shareholders won’t sell and devalue the company. The only way to do that is by pushing merchandise with high profit margins.
