Since Christmas, my weekend "shopper" newspaper has become a monthly in my house. Oh, they still publish weekly, but for some strange reason, I am only getting it every fourth.
During the shopperless weekends, I have diligently called up the newspaper on Monday or tuesday and inquire as to the whereabouts.
Sometimes I get one deposited on my front doorstep soon thereafter, sometimes not. Usually it is far too old to take advantage of any "bargain" classifieds, even if i wanted something.
On the 12th of February, I actually got the shopper on Saturday. Wow.
But again, I was to be disappointed, and two weeks in a row was not to be. I have left my message, once again, sounding very dissapointed, at the newspaper. The grocery store ads come in the shopper, and if I have to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday, it gets a bit late to plan my shopping.
Oh, and the location of the newspaper office? 514 N Central avenue. I live at 521 NW 1st Avenue. Their parking lot stretches behind their building to 1st Avenue...right next door, to my south.
With all the carriers picking up their papers, you'd think someone would be able to drop off a shopper in the paper's own back yard.
