The Dispatch is like Playboy, I only read it for the articles

Dispatch rant coming.

Seriously, the main reason I subscribe to the Dispatch is to get the coupons in the Sunday paper. One thing that has always bothered me is that they don’t distribute coupons on holiday weekends. Today is no different. No coupons today because of President’s Day. Really Dispatch? President’s Day? I’m surprised you had coupons for Groudhog’s Day weekend.

Step it up man.

You are losing sales on these coupon-less weekends. I just heard about a guy that BUYS 5 Sunday papers just to get coupons for his five kids. And don’t you want to help your readers save money? I almost titled this post with “Dispatch Sales Drops While Increasing Grocery Bill For Already Strapped Readers“. That’s just not the PR you want.

Oh, while I’m ranting. Why the heck is the Business section on the back page of the Sports section during the week. It just screams “Columbus is not serious about business”. (HT @NickSeguin).
