Tipping/gift for the mailman at Christmas

Is this practice a bullshite Yankee big city thing? Something that’s always been done and I’ve never realized it? Our mailman just left a Christmas card in our mailbox, with his business card (that says he’s a mailman) attached. Seems weird.

I’ve always done it. My father does it.
Something small goes a long way during the year.

Only in America do we constantly find the need to tip people when it’s not necessary.

I don't trust the mailman.

Some people do it. But

Do you enjoy receiving things in a timely manner? If so, $20 gift card.

I have a friend who is a mailman and people on his route give him a bunch of liquor, gift cards and cash. He's on a conversational basis with many of them.

It seems like almost every time I see them it's a different person. Makes leaving a tip pointless.

I think he meant for your wife to find it.

I do it and for the garbage man too. I own a small business and work out of our home. They constantly have to navigate my vehicles.

I find that the practice of tipping the mail carrier is reasonable for rural carriers, as they do a lot of extra stuff and are generally on a more personal level with people along their route. I live in a subdivision and honestly, couldn't tell you whether my mail carrier is a man or a woman. back when I lived in the country, I knew my carrier by first name....

The mailman is fricking your wife with more than his tip.

About four years ago we cancelled our newspaper subscription but continued to get the paper everyday. We've tipped him every Christmas so that hopefully he doesn't catch on or just goes along with it.

We leave a tray of treats on the porch for our UPS, FedEx and USPS guys during the holidays. The kids enjoy picking out stuff to put in the tray.
Those guys work hard around this time of year.

Got damn you all make a lot of stupid post about tipping

My mail guy is pretty awesome, so I give him a small thought. He’s on foot and we talk often and know one another on a first name basis. At my old house, I never knew who the carriers were and did not give them a Christmas gift/tip.
