"I know"

[TSgt]

I had 3 paper routes when I was in the 3rd grade and made every effort to porch the paper. For some of my elderly customers I would go so far as to lay the paper on a table next to their door or hang it on the door so they didn’t have to bend down to pick it up. My excellent service usually resulted in generous tips.

After a year long battle I finally canceled my local paper, The Cincinnati Enquirer. The paper was always thrown in the front drainage ditch and was soaked. I simply asked for it to be thrown in the yard or driveway but it was too much to ask. They fired the first carrier and hired a new one who did the same. I took pictures, contacted the editor, route managers, etc.. The result was always the same, a wet paper in the ditch.

Today’s carriers stink.

What is a “newspaper”?

[smokingfrog]

Remember when there used to be a morning edition and evening edition of the newspaper? I used to deliver both of them. Entrepreneur at an early age.

Now it's just a bum selling the paper at the street corner or some dude in a pickup truck throwing your newspaper who knows where.

Everyone please celebrate by canceling the newspaper, if you haven’t already.
