Certainly, if you can't drive a car safely in 24mph winds then maybe you're in the wrong job delivering papers, but to blame subscribers beggars belief.
I do blame the subscribers because the few subscribers that do not accept digital and want the paper to deliver. I saw so many different revolving door delivery drivers up north most had a car that was on its last leg and one with a muffler you could hear in the morning. I would read online (Facebook) people upset when that paper did not arrive on time or at all so it just seems fitting to ask why and it seems familiar here, imo. Sure, the driver refuses to deliver and they find someone else to prevent getting yelled at. There are papers at the stores so there are options for that 24mph wind drive.
