AI Highlights
  • - Sunday papers never arrive in the morning.
  • - A call promises delivery; carrier notified.
  • - Store pickup at 10:30 for a $5 paper; car ads and stories.

For the past many months, we have never received our Sunday paper in the morning. We even have the Journal on speed dial.

I call, they assure me that it will be delivered and that the carrier has been notified. At 10:30, I get in my car and drive to the store to pick up my $5 paper (the store always has had it for hours). We read what's left, between all the car advertisements and 3-page stories about how a poor family is suffering without an air conditioner. Don't even mention the funny pages.

We have supported the Journal for at least 35 years. Now it sucks.

User's recommendation: Buy the NY Times
