Great Service from the Globe

I got a thank-you note today for a Christmas tip, from the person who delivers the Globe! This was so unusual that I wanted to post it - there is still great service out there.
I also got a typed-up note saying that she would not be delivering the paper for a couple of days, but someone else would, and it included a phone number to call in case of any problem with delivery.
She also delivers the paper right to the front step, every morning, even during the awful weather we had last week. (I really love having the paper delivered.)
I don't know if the Globe instructs the people who deliver the papers to do this or if this is just a really great employee. Either way, thanks Renee! Delivering papers is a tough job, but you are appreciated.

I'm in Norwood, and we also have excellent delivery of our Globe. Weekdays by 6:30am, weekends by 7:30am. Right on my doorstep. Always in a plastic bag. Even w/ the snow storms the weekend before Christmas, they were very good.
As a bonus, even though we live outside of Rte. 128, we still get the late late late edition of the paper, with game stories & box-scores from the west coast.
So, thank you, Theresa. :-)

fyi: It's actually an outside company that delivers the paper -- not the Globe. The same company also delivers the Wall Street Journal and other papers.
good reminder
I started getting the Times delivered right before the Election and decided to stick with it. Service has been very good -- thanks for reminding me to write a check and dig up the envelope.
Holiday tipping for regular delivery service is a nice little tradition. It reminds me of growing up, when our folks would talk about tipping the paper boy, milk man, etc. for good service. (Funny, it was all guys doing that delivery work then...)
