I am not in the EU but this is how I understand the situation using your Italian grocery store analogy: 
1.  Italian grocery store sells bread online and ships to bread lovers throughout Italy. 
2.  German bread lover says, "This bread is the best ever, send me some please!  I will pay the extra shipping, obviously."
3.  Grocery store says, "Fuck you!  But you can visit our partner website BreadForGermans.com where they sell the same bread for 50% more."
4.  EU says, "This is a single market.  Sell him his bread at regular price." 

Transforming the phone call into a website doesn't change the point either, the sole point is made on the unnecessary imposition from government. That people seem to think will make everything better.

So, basically, what you are saying is that it's OK for businesses that are open to the public to discriminate against certain members of the public who want to be customers based on political boundaries.  For instance, if your neighborhood grocery store charged more to anyone who lived outside the neighborhood, with no way for them to "get a membership" other than by moving to the neighborhood. 

What if your local store said "OK, members of the PSB party have to pay twice as much"—OK?  (United for Brazil coalition, I picked one blindly from Wikipedia)

What about other forms of discrimination?  "No bread for black people"—OK?  "No bread for Jews"—OK?
