[QUOTE="nvts, post: 179871, member: 3814"] We've gone through that as well. My dad is 78 years old. His newspaper lands everywhere but on his porch. Since I live across the street, he'd check to see if I got mine, and if I did, I'd just give him mine. One day I was walking up the stairs and I happened to notice a "hole" in the bushes under his front window. I parted the branches and sure enough there were over 15 newspapers throughout the bushes. I put them all in a bag and the next day waited on the porch for the paper kid. I handed him the bag and told him that my Dad was to get free papers for two weeks and they were to be delivered by putting it between the screen door and front door. If this wasn't possible, I'd simply call the route manager and check about being reimbursed for the 3 weeks and hand the manager the bunch that I'd found. Well, the mother came to the house and was all prepared to have a hissy fit until I showed her the bag of papers and the holes in the bushes. My dad's paper is between the doors now. But I'm getting sick and tired of "gas saving" measures at the expense of the customers. We still get prime service from the pizza guys because as gas was rising, we'd throw an extra buck or so over the normal tip because the kids pay for their own gas around here. But we made sure we said so. Now they wait to get a full load of orders before they send them out for deliveries and we're ALWAYS the first delivery on the round. I'd send a letter to the circulation dept. and the editor and see what's going on. But I'd make a call this morning to the circulation manager (over the route manager) explaining that they refuse to accomodate you. Call, call, call! It seems that that's all we're constantly having to do! Beth [/QUOTE]
