How many people actually believe that a corporation, once it has gotten people used to paying a certain price for an item, will actually lower their prices?

It doesnt matter what price people are used to paying. When the product next to it on the shelf's price goes down, its price will go down. The invisible hand of supply and demand will bring the price down.

What if the product next to it doesn't go down? They didn't in Europe when businesses took advantage of the Euro switch to jack up prices.
