Tipping The Postie?

[Bobbisox1]

Do you? I always put a tenner in a Christmas card for Stevie ( ours) I don’t tip the binmen now as there’s usually 2 or 3 of them

Never the same postman/woman for three days consecutively. So not tip. I drag my bins up the pathway so I should tip myself.

Our binmen are wonderful, possibly the best in Britain (E. Yorks. has the best recycling record) so we leave boxes of biscuits tied to the bin (tomorrow's is all ready to go out) for the week before Christmas.

There is always a cheery wave or greeting when they are on their rounds and they leave a few dog-biscuits on the bin. Now that they have clocked that we are getting-on a bit, they wheel the bin back down the drive to the front door. I can't fault them. Lovely chaps.

not this year. Had my mail delivered to my neighbours on either side as well as receiving mail for someone in a different street.
No to the binmen as well.

Some taxi-drivers I will tip, other get the exact fare.

I dont tip the posties. I'm sure they and bin folk are all lovely people, but they get to us in the middle of the morning (at the earliest) and even into the afternoon sometime. I'm either at work by then or out and about. I dont think they can possibly set out at 4am these days.
