Re: OT-Do any of you tip your postal person?

We've always given our mail carrier a cash tip...$20 in recent years. None
of them have ever given it back because of US postal rules. So now that I
know that they're not allowed to accept cash, should I go to Starbucks and
buy Shawn a gift card? Yeah, right!!!

I never thought of leaving money for them at Christmas, but I have
bought a box of See's candy for them in past years. This year, she's
getting a box of chocolate turtles from Figis. My postal person does
have many boxes she delivers right to my front door, so I want some way
to thank her.

What, if anything, do you do for people who provide services for you
throughout the year? Below is what part of an article on the AOL
Welcome screen said about tipping.

"United States Postal Service employees, on the other hand, are
prohibited from accepting cash and discouraged from accepting gifts
with a value of more than $20. But don't let that stop you, especially
if you have a regular mail carrier who you want to reward for going
through hail and storm to deliver your mail: Consider a gift card from
a local store or a coffee shop that's on their route.

· Mail carrier: U.S. government regulations allow postal-service
employees to accept gifts up to $20 each, but cash isn't allowed"
