PUBLIC VIEWPOINT Newspaper Delivery Is Hard Work

For everyone who gets their paper delivered every morning on time: Do you ever stop to think how hard someone works to get your paper to you? Your delivery person(s) must have your paper out every morning early, no matter how the weather is. This could mean ice, snow, storms, fog. Everytime someone complains, it docks their pay. People who want their paper on the porch, that means getting out of the car and placing it there with no extra pay.

I have not ever delivered a newspaper or worked for the newspaper business. It just dawned on me that maybe we just should write a thank you note and put a tip in it. Yes, a tip just like we would any other service person doing a good job.
