Here's a well-documented fact: most magazine subscribers get their copy of the magazine several days later than the newsstand.   It's well-documented because it happens to me and my girlfriend Brittany every single month with 6-12 different magazines.  And it's painful.  You see the new Fast Company on the rack.  The cover article looks intriguing... really intriguing.  You want to read it.  Now.  What do you do?  You can buy it and give them another $5, or you can wait until you get your copy like a second-class citizen. 

I'm sure there's a reasonable, systemic reason for this discrepancy.  But here's the thing: I don't care!  I went through the trouble of supporting your publication.  I'm the dedicated user.  You should send me the magazine two weeks before it gets to those filthy non-subscribers.  Sure they pay more for each issue, but they don't LOVE you like I love you.  

Reward your loyal customers.  At the very least don't punish us.
