we gave tins of cookies to our garbage and recycle collectors. my 2 year old son loves garbage trucks and they always take a second to blow the air horn and wave to him when were outside. he gets a kick out of it every time.

Hell no. Imagine how many gifts they would receive if everyone did.

I worked with a guy who delivered papers on the side and he would rack up at Christmas with checks $$.

My mail lady is a legit fricking smoke show, I need to buy her something or have something delivered that lets her know I'm DTF. Maybe order some Trojan Magnums, although then she would be in for a yuuge letdown...maybe I should go with a Sybian.

Off topic, but our mailman used to stop on our front porch and shoot the shite with my friends and me. If we were playing sports in the street, he'd sometimes play for a while. It used to piss my neighbors off when we'd do this because it'd put him 15-30 minutes behind schedule.

No. If I happen to be outside when the mailman or garbage man is passing, I offer them something to drink. Beyond that courtesy, I don't see why I should buy him a gift too

Maybe if you live in a neighborhood where the mailboxes are attached to the house and the mailman actually has to walk up to each house, I could see wanting to give the mailman a little gift at Christmas. But my neighborhood's mailman doesn't have to get out of his air conditioned truck all day. He should be thanking me that I still opt for all my bills to sent by regular mail instead of paperless, helping with his job security
