That would be the better solution for all I agree. Greg, so your saying that you think delivering cigarettes adds value to society? Ok, I realize your not really saying that. But come on now. Maybe you should get down off that high horse of yours and imagine for a moment if you lost that high paying job of yours. Then imagine your a widower with 3 kids to feed, pay for daycare, rent and so on. Now would it be better for you to go on welfare or deliver phone books or for that matter deliver cigarettes. Sorry but job are not all that plentiful, not even the ones that pay 16 cents per delivery. But hey, if you would rather pay for someone to recieve that welfare check instead of you having to recieve a phone book you didnt want, thats your prerogative. I cant help to wonder what it is you do for a living. Ed, You are so right!! That would be the better solution for all I agree.

Apparently the pay is crappy, and it's widely understood the product is wasteful and unwanted. Rather than defend the job, I'd suggest looking elsewhere for a .16 cents/stop equivalent that adds value to society. Maybe delivering cigarettes?

The pay barely makes sense after accounting for self-provided transportation. Just think how much easier it would be to get deliveries right if they only delivered to people who requested the books?

So, that means Ed has probably taken Food Out of the Mouths of their Children. “But if it is found out that they have delivered to someone they should not of they are then fined $25.”

The person who delivers these phone books is an independent contractor, who is paid about 16 cents per stop to deliver these books. They are given a range of addresses to deliver to, with the exact addresses and a door hanger for those who opt out. Granted, I understand everyones complaints here. But in these hard economical times, these people delivering these books are only trying to pay bills. Its not an easy job, nor is it well paying. When you have 900 addresses to deliver to and 5 of those addresses are opt outs its easy to miss. But if it is found out that they have delivered to someone they should not of they are then fined $25. So you do the math, at 16 cents per address they just worked for free. Give these people a break.(the ones deliverying) Most of these people are struggeling enough already to make ends meat. They are trying to get as many books delivered correctly in a sort amount of time. only to make less then $200 for deliverying to more then 900 addresses. Ok, I have to respond to these posts.
