I had a lady stop by my apartment the other day, who claimed to be with the local newspaper and apologized for the issues with the paper being delivered to the dispenser near the mail room. She then went on to say that all the residents were going to be getting the paper free for two months, and we also would get a discount card usable at local area stores. The card she handed me had only chain stores on it, so it was going to be pretty useless to me. After having just finished her talk about the free paper, she then moved on to saying "well, it would be nice if you could make some small donations to pay the little boy who will be delivering the paper". She didn't even have the kid with her to try and get some sympathy points. I at that point asked to not have it delivered to avoid the horrible waste of paper it would be for me, and said that I get all of my news online.
