I haven't seen a regular kid paperboy in a long time which is too bad. Like others said they want to start off making more money. Having a route as a paper boy when your a kid is not about the money, it is more about learning responsibilty to get a job done, keeps a kid out of too much trouble etc.

I delivered the Quincy Sun as a kid, only a weekly paper but it a good thing as a kid.

As far as tipping mail men......I don't, some of my neihbors do..I son't see it. This is there job, and they are well paid with great benefits. It's not like it is a cocktail waitress that has to make tips. No one tips me at my job for keeping the lights on and I don't want one, just pay me.
