If the discount is steep enough, and once you have "trained" your customers, it becomes hard to go back, for sure. As a consumer, you don't chose your vendors' commercial strategy, you kind of have to live with it. It is not like people are going to wilfully avoid rebates and pay the inflated, regular price just to spite the vendor .
Ultimately, the part I find more damaging from a collective perspective about rebates is they encourage impulse purchases of things that eventually go to waste or remain unused.
