Several years ago, my family started getting a free local rag delivered to our driveway. Of course I pick it up every week and put it directly in the recycling bin. I figured it's not worth the effort to complain and it becomes my weekly routine. About two winters I forget about it, it hits the snowblower and jams it up good. I'm smoking mad now. I call the company, tear them a new one because I don't want their free crappy paper etc. Ever since that call, they throw two of the free papers in my driveway! It's actually kinda funny.

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.
