Many years ago, there was a drug store in our town that offered curb service. Before World War II, the garbage men (that was before the term "sanitation engineers" had been thought of) would go behind your house to get your trash can and return it when they had emptied it into their truck. I am not making this up! What happened? Why do we have to settle for an inferior level of service now? People who enjoyed those services didn't pay "extra" for them. That level of service was the norm!
