    Oh and...for future reference...the "$" sign goes BEFORE the number. :D



    Thanks for the future reference. I'll make sure to remember that. heh :D

    so i take it tipping is a big thing over in America? and you have the same postie every day? that's funny to me 1. i would not know what the postie looked like if i fell over him 2. I can't say i'd even ever think of tipping a postie.. and 3. I got nothin... and 4,. i think our posties ride motorbikes...

    Yeah. I have a different postie like every day. Sorry...But temp types lose out on some tips I guess. I tipped nada...as I can't tip all 17 posties.

    Posties. I love it! ;)

    You guys are the greatest, and you all know that I am the greatest mail man in the world..sorry, didn't you? Well you do now.
    My customers have been so great to me this year, wine, chocolates..and let's just say I used 25% of my cash tips today to buy this new/old computer, that has brought me back into the fold at such a lovely time.
    Well done for looking after your posties folks. Happy holidays.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....
  • Our postal workers here each want tipping out of a fifty-storey window.

    :D


    Joke!

  • My wife asked me last week what to give the mailman this year for Christmas.

    I said "fuck him..."


    Came home just in time to see that bastard zipping up friday:D

    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

  • Why tip the mailman ??? here is why:

    Newman: "Because the mail never stops. It just keeps coming and coming
    and coming, there's never a let-up. It's relentless. Every day it
    piles up more and more and more! And you gotta get it out but the more
    you get it out the more it keeps coming in. And then the bar code
    reader breaks and it's *Publisher's Clearing House* day!!!"

    did you tip the guys at tenclub? they packed your posters up for you, did it safely and securely and made sure the posters were cosy-wosy... did you tip postal worker who drove it from Seattle to Buffalo? why not, he did a big part of the delivery didnt he? but yet you tipped the guy who, after some other unfortunate soul had sorted the mail into zip codes for him, delivered it the 1.1mile from the depot to your door!...

    me, 1,144,425 british and the entire population of China :)

    nobody tips anyone in China, they get paid in dust and work 23 hours and 59 minutes a day.. mailmen work for 4 hours a day, put things into letter boxes and get fuckin xmas presents at the end of it all... its the least difficult job since i was employed as "drying-paint watcher"

    Glad were both cheerful today. :)


    This past yr I've had many posters coming to the house. And my mailman has done a great job making sure they haven't got wet, blown away, or stolen. I just felt he deserved a $20 tip. Yes he's getting paid to do his job. But I know the feeling of getting a little something extra from a customer around the holidays. It's a nice feeling and it goes a long way. :)
