They were the only ones on their party line for many years probably into the late 80′s. They were still being charged a very low rate, even though it was just like being on a private line.
(Older people might know what I’m talking about.)

My friends don’t understand why we pay so little for so many things, but we were grandfathered in on a lot of things. We just stick with things I guess. (Gym, cell phone come to mind).

So I Was shocked when blockbuster online told us we had to upgrade to a newer, more expensive plan. Not sure what the original “contract” said, but we had never experienced this before.

It’s a bummer if more companies are moving towards this. They’ll lose our business, for sure. The ones who leave us be get our loyalty when we do eventually upgrade to the newer plans.

Good post.
