A bean-counter decided if Sprint or Verizon only discounted the "FIRST" phone instead of the account, THEN it would create that "$2.50" extra revenue, but it could still claim it gives veterans a 15% (or whatever) discount. Multiply that by 100,000 veterans -- $250,000 bucks for counting the beans a little differently. Multiply that times a million veterans $2,500,000 bucks for counting those same beans. THAT'S PER MONTH, not annually.
I've never seen one single bill from a major tech company (Phone, Data, CTV, etc.) that actually sent a bill for the amount it claims on the advertising. NOT one ... Same thing with hotel rooms -- you ever look at the room fee - says "$89 per night, but the bill is ALWAYS at least ten percent higher when you actually pay it.
BUT, interestingly enough - gas and diesel fees that appear on the pumps and on the signs ALWAYS include each little fee and tax. That's the only one I can think of that does it too.
