Newspaper and drink

My newspaper didn't come this morning. No big thing but an hour later my 75 years old newspaper guy popped in my office with my paper. He said that his bicycle had a flat tire so he was late. He then said to make it up to he would take me out drinking. 　I wonder.....
 In America if my paper was late, would the paper boy take me out drinking?
