Our Local paper and Coupon inserts

In yesterday's Sunday paper we should of gotten 4 inserts. I only got 2 of them and they were the 2 that didn't have much in them. So this morning after I got home I called our local paper. This is the conversation:

Me: Yes, I was trying to find out how many coupon inserts where in yesterday's Sunday paper.

PAPER: I believe there were 4

Me: Well my paper only had 2 inserts in it. Where would of the other 2 went?

PAPER: Well sometimes we run short and we then just don't put them in certain area's.

ME: You have to be kidding me? I pay you for the paper to get the coupon inserts and you are telling me that because you didn't have enough for whatever reason then I just don't get mine?

PAPER: Yes that is correct.

ME: Well then can I buy the inserts directly from you?

PAPER: No, You have to buy the paper

ME: Well if I am a subscriber and I paid for the paper and didn't get my coupon inserts then why would I buy another paper to get what I should of gotten to begin with?

PAPER: I have no idea.

ME: THANKS you just answered my question.


Me: Well I guess the Post Dispatch is looking better every week. Thank you.

They just lost me as a subscriber. I pay to get what I'm suppose to get. The Post Dispatch just earned my business.
