  1. price zoning?? I believe the more conventional and common term for the phenomenon is price discrimination.

  2. You’re right, it is price discrimination. Zone pricing is a form of price discrimination, but typically practiced by wholesalers trying to capture some of the rents that otherwise would go to the advantageously-located retailer. Since it isn’t claimed that the national Girl Scout organization is charging different prices to different Girl Scout troops based on location of the troop, I guess zone pricing is technically incorrect.
