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

My mail carrier already gets paid handsomely to frick up my deliveries. Ain’t getting anything from me.

His salary comes from your taxes.

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

They make like 100k per year already. I'm not joking either.

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.

Seriously, I paid a lot extra to few packages next day 2 weeks ago and did not get them until today. After several phone calls to the distribution center and tracking online - I was told the packages were on the truck all last week.

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.

Give him a potato.

I knew about the customary larger tip for barbers/maids/etc around Christmas time. Never knew that mailmen and trashmen should get a tip. They’re government employees. Weird.

Maybe you should tip this year.

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.
