Free Services On The Way Out

Gas stations drop free maps and washes. phone directories may charge. restaurants add bread and butter fees. stores cut free deliveries and gift wrap. free bags vanish. airlines offer fewer free meals. theaters may charge for programs. beauty parlors demand pin returns or pins. dry cleaners discuss hanger fees. matchbooks may cost, with a Houston chain already charging.
