Tipping the Mail person.

[idiganthro]

Mailman gets nothing. When he stops leaving his cigarette butts all over the place and starts to get the mail in the right boxes maybe I'll consider it The Independent delivery person gets a card with $20.

I agree! When she stops leaving packages by the garage on rainy days, instead of huge nearby the front porch... When she actually knocks on the door when all of our cars are home and she has a registered receipt we need to sign (instead of just plunking it in the box). Half the time the box is left wide open, and the tabs have been broken off more than once. Last year she left an unstamped Christmas card in our box that basically said here is what I do for you and asked to be "remembered" for the holidays. I caved and got her a gift card. Not gonna happen this year.

On a side note, whoever is the person that delivers packages on Sundays this time of year is really friendly and conscientious!

I left some treats for my carrier and got a very nice card in return.

If my carrier left a card asking to be remembered, they'd never get anything ever again.
