Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who tips their mail carrier?

My RCA did an outstanding job this year, I gave her a Christmas card + $20

[bleep] no... I don't tip anyone who does a job and gets paid for it - exc being restaurant workers. I especially don't tip the gov workers...

We do. He's a good guy. Mail carriers here work their asses off, a friend's son is one.

I just did. $25 gift card.

No. They get paid very well and usually to a terrible job round here

I always tip my letter carrier and the garbage men.

gave my delivery man a bottle of Courvoisier VSOP Cognac. He earned every drop. He also got 200 rounds of .22 shorts. His favorite plinking ammo on his farm. He is a fine man, a great human being, and a damn good friend.

I don’t tip anyone who is being paid for performing their jobs unless it’s a “service” industry such as a restaurant or bar. The mail people earn their pay and receive compensation. I don’t tip my auto mechanic either nor the local police. If I were to go to a Starbucks, I know they have tip jars too. Not gonna tip them for doing their job as it’s their choice to work there. It would be like tipping the McDonalds cashier, no thanks.

A plate of home made cookies

We usually give our guy a jar of homemade jam and a dozen homegrown eggs. He’s a good guy and does a good job for us.

Most of the rural carriers I’ve seen are good folks. They aren’t the enemy, but they work for them. 😎

In a box right? You didn't just let fly at him when he came up to your gate out of uniform?

I try to tip everyone.

Tipping a mail carrier... that is some funny crap. Around here you are lucky to get your mail every 2-3 days it has gotten so bad.

I was an RCA for awhile, It is a hard job. I always appreciated any tips I received on the holidays.

Mailman $20, Paper boy $20, trash pickup $50, recycle pickup $50, they all deserve it, good guys, work hard everyday,

We tip our mail lady. She's very good about bringing over sized packages to the house if they won't fit in the box, instead of leaving a notice that we have a large package waiting in town at the PO, and I appreciate that

i tried , the mailman said it was illegal

Ours will bring packages up to the house if they don't fit in the box. Yes, I do.

I do. suggested driving rather than walking everywhere like a dumbass. I think he's deaf. good job for a deaf man.

I retired from Gov't service (FAA). We were strickly warned not to take any gifts, especially this time of year.

I should. Our mail lady goes above and beyond. Seems like on top of the mail USPS has the poor lady delivering more packages than UPS and FedEx. Some days she has two Jeep loads of packages to deliver.
