Growing up I never heard of such a practice, then a few years ago I was shocked to learn that people willingly give their money to a FedGov employee above and beyond the taxes that are taken from us at gunpoint by the IRS. Who tips the TSA for frisking their wife and children in an airport? Who tips the FBI for their exemplary 'work'?? If you’re going to make your agenda so obvious, why bother using the USPS as your decoy? My best bud is a mailman and a more overworked and under appreciated guy you’d never meet.. He goes WELL above and beyond and puts in more hours in crappy conditions with hardly any support than most internet blowhards ever will
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...?
She's gone shootin..

My son just finished a year being a substitute/relief rural mail carrier. Up at 3:30 every morning to be at the post office by 4:30, loading his POV, sometimes not finishing until 6:00 pm after making additional trips to reload his car...rain, blizzards, or good weather. (I guess Subaru Outbacks must the the unofficial car of rural postal contractors.) Say what you want about Millennials, he works his ass off! The lady who subcontracted him delivers parcels on Sundays just to keep up with the regular flow of mail during regular workdays...and she brings parcels to the door...and she always brings milk bones for our dogs as well as every dog on her route every day! Hell yes she gets tipped not only during the holidays but occasionally throughout the year.

I used to get her a bottle of liquor, but then she showed up with Whiskey Killer dewey plates on her mail Jeep. What's my play moving forward? ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/RZYxTQSw/Whiskey-Plates.jpg)

How much in tips did you get while in government service? Contractual bonuses don't count. Just the cash, given because you did your job. Whoops, you don't qualify. Your job was easy, under great conditions. With no stress, or risk! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!

I pick up mail at the PO and haul my garbage, so no tip. I wouldn’t even if I did get home service.
I do recall my dad hustling into the garage to grab a few cold beers for the garbage men if he saw them coming up the street. It was pretty rare for him to be home when they picked up, but he’d look out for them if he was around.

Well, they haven't given me a tip for doing my job which allows me to pay for their services.
