In my youth, I apparently fell into the newspaper delivery exception without realizing it. I wasn't even paid a wage. I was assigned a route, and the policies were set by the newspaper. It felt like I worked for them, but I essentially bought the paper and was paid on whatever profit remained (some people were nice enough to give tips, especially around the holidays). It took me a while (callow youth that I was) to fully understand the situation.
