PRESS: Detailing delivery woes

Thursday, Sept. 9, the newspaper is delivered after 9 a.m. Friday, Sept. 10, more of the same. The paper delivered after 9 a.m. These are just two examples of a business failing to deliver to its customers what they have purchased. That is, a newspaper to be read before the workday starts.

Is it now time for the corporation to drop another delivery day from its schedule? The workers need a rest from their hard work you know. As I see it, the Coeur d’Alene Press has a couple of options.

One is, switch to an evening paper delivery. There is a huge inventory of high schoolers who are candidates for jobs delivering the paper after school. It’s good money for the teenagers.

The other option would be for those in the corporation, keeping a cushy desk chair warm, to get out of that chair and do something about serving the customer. How about delivering papers instead of cutting service to your customers?
