Vanity, thy name is ... Mail?

Well, apparently we all can now get our own personal Zip-code, or "Vanity" zip-code.

It seems that Sakes Fifth Avenue, the trendy New York department store, has been given the dubious honor of being the first business to receive its own vanity (or "prestige") Zip code. They are being assigned the Zip-code 10022-SHOE to commorate a new women's footwear salon opening this summer in the store.

Now, as we all know, no good deed goes unpunished, and ...., well ...uh ...

Bottom line is that the USPS is just finding new ways to gouge us for MORE MONEY. I guess that hiking the price of the first-class stamp to 41¢ earlier in the month isn't going to give them enough dough. As if their regular price hikes aren't enough maybe this will finally enable them to pay their workers enough now to keep them from going Postal.
