Welcome, friends. It's been a while, huh? So, having survived this whole COVID ordeal for 2+ years, we decided to blow three years worth of travel budget in one summer. Which meant we had to return to Las Vegas. We started at a new place at Harrah's called Walk On's , which is a Cajun sports bar. I got the gator wrap, which was quite tasty. Gator basically tastes like chicken, so this was nothing mind blowing in terms of exotic flavours, but I'm not going to a Cajun place and ordering a hamburger - I want something weird enough.

It's hard to screw up chicken and waffles, and yet... I also had the most disappointing chicken and waffles I've ever eaten.

Also, I'd agree with you had the situation been 10 years ago and the newspaper business was rolling in customers. Now, they're not.

From the carrier's perspective, it's probably more like 15 or 20 seconds since one can throw the paper to the step from say 5 or 10 meters away, eliminating twice that distance walking plus time to place the paper in the box. Using 15 sec per day and 360 delivery days, that's 1.5 hrs of extra time spent every year for a marginal amount of extra compensation. Do carriers still get paid piecemeal? If not, and they are paid flat rate to cover a route, you're sunk...
Have you tried bribery?
