Call the paper and complain maybe even get reimbursed for the papers you never read or tell them you can do the job better and you will work for ayc.

Tagger, if it's the Enterprise you won't have any better luck with the kids. I get the Sunday Enterprise in a package deal with my Easton Journal and they can't get it delivered right ONE day a week. The 2nd week I was supposed to get it, it didn't show up, so I called the paper. The nice lady told me it would be delivered "right away". I still haven't received it and it's been 9 weeks. And they've missed 2 other weeks during that time.

On top of the spotty delivery, I get a letter stuck in the bag with my paper the week after my first "no paper" day. It's a full page hand written letter explaining that because I get the paper for "free", the kid would "appreciate me being generous" and sending him a tip in the pre-addressed envelope (with no postage) he included in the bag with the paper.

I called the paper and told them I wasn't going to tip some kid who delivers the paper only semi-regularly and then asks for money for his crappy service. Needless to say, I didn't get the paper the next Sunday.

I actually wrote the kid a nice letter explaining to him that when I was a kid, I didn't include self addressed envelopes with the weekly paper. In fact, I never asked for tips. If customers thought I did a good job, they'd give me one. I haven't sent it yet, but maybe I will now that I'm all riled up again. My paperboy sucks.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
