When I started 5th grade, I started delivering newspapers for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer at 4:30 am every morning. Heck, that was back when the Times was an afternoon paper. I had that job through college.

I went to Pay 'n Save and Ernst-Malmo often with my mom back in the late 70s.

Was so awesome having a morning paper I would read during my mid morning snack and lunch at 1pm then come home to having in the fresh unread Times on my door step in the evening...

Remember watching Pay n Pak go out of business. Their inventory control was lousy. The big box stores refined just in time inventory control
