We used to get a Saturday and Sunday paper delivered until the paper shop started to get unreliable.

On a few occassions, papers didn't arrive at all and other times they were just dead late.

So, when we went for our honeymoon back in August, I cancelled the deliveries, not just for our 2 weeks away, but permanently.

For whatever reason, we are still getting papers delivered at the weekend but are not getting charged for them! This has been going on since September.

I have debated about going to the shop to tell them but to be honest, why should I? Its not my error or place to run their business for them.

If they weren't so crap in the first place, I wouldn't be getting free papers now.

What would you do?

By now then they have unwittingly repaid you for their previous crap service. So now is the time to clear your guilty conscious and tell them of their error.
You will feel better for it.....

Thought for a moment there you said "newspapers". You're getting toilet paper, that's why it's free.
