Why is it that residential buildings get the power turned off after 1 or 2 missed payments but commercial buildings don’t?

If I miss 2 payments on my power bill the power company sends someone out to turn of the utility, however I see lots of commercial buildings (old Toys r Us, empty stores ect) with all the lights still on. Is someone still paying?

All the other answers here are correct (i.e., whose name is the service actually under), but having worked at a POCO for years, we would disconnect a commercial enterprise for non-pay just like an individual if they were the ones that the service was billed to.
