No idea but I figured I might as well try. I would have been willing to pay a few bucks extra if it was - relatively cheap just for sunday delivery as it is. Mainly thought it was funny they were so confused

It's not like asking to leave pickles off your burger. I'm kind of amazed that anybody would make this request and think it reasonable but shoot your shot I guess.

Yes, as a former paperboy I can say newspapers (obviously!) don’t have some bespoke assembling process for each customer that would allow for this level of individualization.
