The "Dailys" I could handle on my bicycle but the Sundays with all the ads I could only carry like 10 of em in my bag on bicycle and my folks wernt much help my Dad said ya took the paper route job as a man I aint bailing ya out with the car every Sunday morning.
Later in High School got hired at George Webb diner on Forest Home Avenue.
Back then ya got $2.25 an hour my job was to clean up I would scrub the bathrooms , sweep & mop the floors, take out the trash, squeegee the windows & on Fridays we changed the grease out dumped the old grease out back and a truck came pick that up once a month when it was full..
Anyways ya got free soda & coffee while working & if the waitresses screwed up an order they call me say eh kiddo ya hungry and I would eat their mistakes.
I always showed up by 5AM and would get the cook to fix me a cheeseburger and they were good! He didn't mind and liked being a cook! Later I was used as a bellboy and delivered things (mostly food) to people in their rooms. I saw some pretty strange things from time to time also. People standing on their heads, porking one of the maids, etc. Some jackass that worked there told that the big boss was porking my mother, trying to get a reaction out of me. I told him I didn't care, that he could get her too is he wanted. He was shocked...asshole.
