The five and dime

When I was a kid there were stores called 5 and 10 cent stores. We had a Ben Franklin across the street from our church and the biggest one was the Woolworth 5 & 10 in Easton on the circle. I guess today's equivalents are the Dollar Stores. Considering inflation, that's about right.

Sprint has just announced their version of nickel and diming their customers. If you're a Sprint smart phone user then your $69.99 a month cost is about to go up by $10.00 a month. Hmmm, why don't they just say that smart phone plans are $79.99 a month? I'm sure they did a marketing study group and decided this was going to make more money for them.
