Fair point - and one I'll admit to overlooking.

A consumer. One who is free to exert their opinion not simply with their wallet, but with their voice. Perhaps I'm someone who resents the cash store in its entirety (I do); perhaps I'm someone who wants to purchase more optional items, but can't afford them at the current price point; perhaps I'm a teenager who REALLY wanted that Orchestrion Roll, but whose parents drew a line at $3. Each of these views might oppose the current pricing for some reason or another. Some might even purchase the product despite this opposition. And all have the right to voice complaints about the price point and offering, in addition to the monetary vote they cast with their wallet.
