Does your optometrist make glasses?

A common pitfall there is that in many chains/practices the optometrist’s actual prescription writeup will not include …

Yes and some places have chips with their burgers instead of fries. Shop around to get the best prices and selection.

Is there a term of art of this business practice (leaving old, uncompetitive pricing plans alive while selling competitive plans to new customers?)

This reminds me of the scene in Boiler Room where Giovanni Ribisi is offered a newspaper subscription. He ask the salesman if that doesn’t screw over the old subscribers in favor of the new ones and the salesman says Sure, I guess. Ribisi replies that he can live with that.
