I tip my mail carrier $50 every Christmas, she does a great job delivering our heavy boxes right to my door.....and my driveway is a little over 1/2 mile long. She's a nice hard working lady, and deserves credit for going the extra mile with a great attitude and smile.

Many years ago when I was living way out in the country I had a distant relation that was my mailman and he was a retired Navy guy. He loved Canadian Beer and at the time and since I was part Canadian I traveled alot to Canada seeing family and doing other things, I would bring back a bunch of Canadian beer which at that time in the 70's was a lot because the border didn't do much inspecting back then. Anyhow when I would get back home I would put a beer can in the mailbox which would alert him that I had beer for him. I would leave several cases on my back porch and when I would get home from the field that night the beer would be gone. When I would see him a family gatherings he would always thank me.

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen the same one twice.

We tip ours each Christmas
Because she brings oversized boxes that won't fit in our mailbox to our door instead leaving a note telling us we have to go to the PO in town to pick it up AND two times that our mailbox got badly damaged by some yahoo driver that took out our mailbox, she brought our mail to the house for us.
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

At Christmas time we give a $50 gift certificate to our carrier for a local restaurant.
