In 1951 I delivered the Allentown PA Call Chronicle. Had to place each customer’s paper carefully on a porch or particular place. Failing to do so I didn’t get paid when collecting for papers delivered. Yes, we had to collect for the paper. We were our own quality control, & billing department. Never tossed a paper, & had to deal directly with over a hundred customers, each with their own expectations.

See Red; you’d think they would know that, but apparently not!

I’ve seen this running gag all my life. There is no way a newspaper can break a window unless something hard has been put inside of it.

Run my little darlings, run! Of course, the customer will know who did it, but RUN! Lol!

Sorry Red you can’t escape this. They’ll see the paper, call the newspaper office and you will be in trouble!

Paper persons (see how PC I was there?) who have them as customers should learn to toss underhand.
