Am I double dipping?

Recently I sat down with a few designer's and we discussed all things business.  One topic in particular had my complete attention and it is what is commonly known as trade discount. If you speak to clients, a few will consider it "double dipping", but is it really? Aren't we running a business? Why  are designer's asked to share?
