The people who deliver newspapers at 4 am in the morning use their own cars, but I don't see people tipping them.

Pardon me, but are cars free? Is gas free? How about insurance? How about the fact that you didn't have to pay anything extra to have it brought to you? It's not like the employer pays their car payment, gas, and insurance. The delievery is free because it is expected that the customer gives a tip to cover those costs and thanks him for the convenience of not having to get off their lazy ass for more time than it took to answer the door.
Don't forget that hundreds of drivers are robbed at gunpoint each year. Some are even murdered. If you don't tip, you don't deserve the service.
Newspaper delievery drivers are compensated well for the use of their car, either by a higher wage or on a per mile basis. Back in the day when you'd actually pay a person directly each week for the paper they WERE tipped.

I'd never fuck with the actual product but I'd take care of the customers that take care of me before some cheapskate non-tipper. If they don't like the product, we'd bring them another, but it would take more time and then they have to wait longer. All this could have been avoided if they had the courtesy to respect the driver risking their life to bring them dinner.
