Wow, that's inconvenient. My town had about 40,000 people and a college, so it wasn't tiny, though. I had a morning paper route when I was in Jr. High and delivered the bills with the morning paper before school. When I got back from school in the afternoon and checked the mail, there would usually be envelopes with checks from two people (always the same two) who paid their bills that morning. (The remaining 71 customers were more difficult to collect from.)
