5 Copies!

Drax

This morning I decided to pick up my free copy of the Metro. I was in the car. The guy handed me 5 copies of it in a bunch and before I could say anything he was running down to the next car. What the f*ck am I supposed to do with 5 copies of this crap. Sure I might aswell start distributing them myself. Seriously though, what is the story? Can these lads only finish their job when they have gotten rid of all copies, or are they paid on the amount they hand out? Surely not! Don't think I'll be taking anymore...I'm off now to the recycle bank.

Haha. I got three shoved in my car window at 7 o clock this morning. I too went straight to the recycle bin in work. I think those dudes must work on a quota, the more the bring back, the less they get paid.

Hahaha thats quality, but in fairness if they did work on a quota they could just dump all the spare copies themselves...

They don't finish until they hand them all out. I usually ask for 4/5 at all junctions and just fire them into the recycling bin in the carpark at work. Feel sorry for the fckers, particularly on cold wet morns and prob better that they are definitely recycled anyway.

Hehehe, kinda reminds me of that Irish Pride add where she shoves all those papers in the bin.

Got 3 copies of the Metro and 4 of the Herald AM one morning st the roundabout in Sandyford! What is a person supposed to do with that many papers?????

Why don't you drop an email to the Metro office and tell them what happened this morning? It's a sinful waste of paper imo. As someone said, they don't finish until they have all been distributed so if they can't be arsed doing their job properly they should be reported and let someone else do the job instead.

1. Open a chip shop
2. Wrap Christmas Presents
3. Origami

Diddy Kong

4. Make paper hats for everybody in the office
5. Make a paper airplane armada

Was mentioned, sending them a mail would probably be best, or just dont roll down the window in the morning. If you have to read it, borrow the paper off someone in work..

Yep, anytime I've gotten a copy I've found another 1/2 rolled up inside it. Bit of a waste. They're desperate to get rid of them.

6. Emergency toilet paper

Yestreday morning, I was getting my free Herald AM (I prefer them to the Metro for the sole reason that their sudoku is harder) and the woman gave me two. It may have been because I had stopped walking to take one but she said something like "Oh, I gave you two". I gave one back, she took it and I was on my way.

The Metro wouldnt care. They probably tell the guys to do this so that they can tell advertisers that their circulation is much higher than it is.
