Customer dissatisfaction with service speed or ease of contact is not a condition for price discrimination. The other options, such as granting discounts or advantages to one customer and not another, or discriminating based on similar products, are conditions that can trigger price discrimination measures under the Competition Act. The presence of competitors or a unique product, which may lead to a monopoly, can also be relevant factors in assessing whether price discrimination occurred.
