[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 179897, member: 3626"] Strangely, I live in a community where we HAVE to have the newspaper. Online doesn't get all the info about upcoming events, etc. Our paper has a circulation of 37,000 and growing daily. Newspapers are delivered to our driveways. No exceptions (supposedly). They are delivered by adults. Obviously, if the newspaper chose to be petty and have bad customer relations, we'd be hostages to it and have no choice. Yet, if we don't get a paper for whatever reason or it gets soaked because we didn't pick it up fast enough, they will deliver a new paper to us. Not only that, the person making the drop off will only drop it off if we are home to personally accept it and he'll come back 10 times if necessary. Our delivery person is a very nice lady who does not live in our community, has a large SUV and pays her own gas. I've seen her stop at certain houses that she knows has an invalid living in it and put their paper in their lanai on a table or something. I was once out on my lanai when she was delivering. She actually stopped and gave me my paper although I'm usually the last on the street to get a paper. If my paper can do all of this and truly doesn't have to, there's no excuse for any other paper in this country to not deliver the paper. Absolutely. no. excuse! [/QUOTE]
