EliteABombAZ Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I remember a few years ago... my delivered paper didn't have all of the ads. Only stores within a certain amount of miles from me. The store bought paper had EVERY ad. Now every TG morning, I go out to QuikTrip to get the paper and some taquitos off of the hot pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShopperMom Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I plan on getting up around 6 a.m. to go buy the paper, I live in a very small town , with only one paper machine, last year I waited till almost 8 and they were all sold out, I ended up having to drive to my Mom's house in a neighboring town to get her paper.

ebony0421 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I am going out to buy one. The paper guy is so slow, the sales will be over if I had him deliver it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcster Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 We only have the Sunday paper delivered... However, SHEETZ has free coffee on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve, so it's a "tradition" for my wife and me to stop in for the T-Day paper, coffee, and breakfast on our way up to her parents for Thanksgiving.

pampam Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Mine will be delivered and I'm not counting on all the ads being included because some have been omitted in the past. I e-mailed the paper's customer service department and promptly received what was left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommie2one Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Mine is delivered, but rarely has all the ads. 2 yrs running now. My husband ends up having to go to the corner store and getting me one. And every year I call the paper the next day and get a credit. You would think the paperboy would be out of here by now. But no. He had the nerve (paperboy) to tell me the papers are heavy and sometimes he omits some inserts!!!!! I told the paper that and all he got was a "warning". Little good that did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommie2one Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Doesn't he get paid to deliver the papers? The WHOLE paper, not partial ones. You would think. This kid is a nut. He won't deliver the papers on time and its only half there. Im surprised the paper still has him as a carrier. Guess they don't mind crediting customers for the paper. If the paperboy would get a wagon or something like that instead of riding his bike, he would be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcster Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 How do you if they are stealing?

dswright Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Please do not take all of the papers form a box!! That person is trying to make a living from delivery and has sacrificed their holiday to service you. Have some consideration. Most paper carriers only make $30-40 per day, if that. Stealing 20 papers from a box at .50 costs them 10.00. :wife: If you cannot afford paying .50 for each paper for a 10.00 off coupon, how in the world can you afford to shop at Macy's anyways!! I have worked in management at 3 different papers and have personally caught theft in vending boxes at 2. Would you rather spend 5.00 to have 10 Macy's coupons or spend the holiday with Bubba in the big house eating bread and water flovored turkey. From what I hear, Macy's is not having the coupons tomorrow anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugglemom Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 We've learned to go buy several at a time. In years past, TRU, Target, or whatever has been missing. And having to go back to the store stinks. So we usually buy 4 or so from different places in the stack. This way my sister has her own copy and I have mine. I even put my name on all the ads witha sharpie. I'm so goofy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
