Right, j understand that. That's why its situational and why you hardly see yours. I'm trying to explain why someone might know their letter carrier better.
No I get it. In that case I get a tip. I still think the tipping culture in general is over the top.
I don't know. Like I said, some people have been tipping their letter carrier for decades and it hasn't caught on.
Oh they are gross and I love all kinds of cured meats & cheese. If Jose Garces starts a meat tray company, then I'll buy one.
You have to wonder, though, there's always that hickory farms kiosk in the mall at Christmas.
Not here, apparently. We have Cracker Barrel (no kiosks, just a store) and the only kiosks in our malls sell ornaments and scarves and football jerseys, apparently.
Ok I am really, truly confused over all the meat tray hate. I am literally baffled. It is a go-to gift around here. Hickory Farms is set up in the mall. As previously mentioned, our crop insurance agent sends us one IN THE MAIL. Now, I don't disagree that it is no way good for you, but I love me some summer sausage around the holidays. I just do not understand the hate. Anytime I have gifted it, it has been well received.
Oh and just like lala said, people have been tipping/gifting their service people for as long as I can personally remember. It's not like this is a new thing that's suddenly "out of control." This has been happened for a while.

Mail carriers? Yes. Trash guys with meat trays? Nope and just because there are mall kiosks doesn't mean people like it. Trust me it's not regional.
2. Hickory Farms stuff does expire. I learned this when I found some at the back of my pantry a few years ago.
Confession:
Mallory has a stolen doll. I didn't steal it but I'm guilty of accepting stolen property I guess. SIL bought a trashcan for MIL and didn't realize until after they'd gotten it home that there was a creepy baby doll in it. MIL made SIL take it home. Mallory saw it at SIL's house, grabbed it and would not let go. So now we own a stolen doll.
It giggles and blows kisses and is the creepiest thing ever but she loves it. I did not attempt to figure out where it was from and go pay for it.
I really don't understand why this is a big deal. If people want to rain money or meat trays on their trash guy/UPS guy/hairdresser/dog groomer, who cares? It's her money. I'm sure the trash guy is not side eyeing the other houses on the block for not handing him smoked meat, so what difference does it make? Don't tip them or give gifts if you don't want to. Some people want to. I'm sorry if that makes others feel obligated, but that's on them.
Are you new? We've had fights about fruit snacks, pouches, and freaking dandelions. Yeah, fed ex men are totally fair game. I'm home sick with 2 sick kids and a sick H, this is my escape from peg plus cat.
Or shall we discuss the war on women, racial discrimination and how Fox News and CNN have ruined the news.
Or table clothes. That's always an option too. I'm completely open.
Oh. I also have three stolen mugs. Those I did steal. From my favorite hotel over the past few years.
I have no idea why I stole them. I am anti-stealing and in complete awareness that it is fucked up and I should not do it. I have never stolen anything else in my life. I will go back in with both kids in a rainstorm to pay for a chapstick I found under the carseat. But I apparently have a compulsive need to slip an ugly green mug into my suitcase every time I go to this hotel. They are not special mugs. I have absolutely no idea why I do this.
I just broke my stolen thing. DH ad I took one of the vinegar things from PF Changs when we were like 20, so 16 years ago. I use it almost daily and broke the damn thing the other day. Impossible to find in store, so I'm ordering from Amazon. They come in sets of two. Maybe I should take one back to the restaurant. I only need one.
When I was a kid, some of the companies would gift my dad and his coworkers hickory farms meat trays. We were poor and I remember being super excited for the summer sausage and crackers and processed cheese. Those meat trays will always remind me of the holidays.

My dad used to own a company and is pretty active /well known in the community. He got got an obscene amount of hickory farms baskets. My favorite party was the strawberry candies nestled in the green shredded paper

But is he famous enough that you get priority oil changes?

HOW DARE YOU ASK FOR DETAILS ABOUT THE VAGUE COMMENT I MADE ABOUT MY LOCAL FAME!!!!!!
Calling this stuff "meat trays" is squicking me out. Meat trays are those styrofoam things they sell raw meat on. Those are what I give to Joey's teacher with the cleaned out baby food jars because they use them to hold glue and paint for arts and crafts.
Hickory Farms is not a meat tray. It's a...meat box? Lol. That seems wrong too.
1. I agree that meat tray is probably not the right word, but I don't think about those kind of trays, I would think about the fresh meat trays you buy at the deli?
2. Do you seriously give the teacher used raw meat trays?? Gross! Or do you just give her ones that had fruit and vegetables on them?
3. After spending some time on the Hickory Farms site the best I can come up with is "Gourmet Food Basket." Which I don't think is a good name either, especially on this board.

Yes, we give her the meat trays. She requests them. We wash them first. It's not like I give them to her dripping in meat blood.
ew, this is a bad idea. those styrofoam trays are expandable material and can hold bacteria. I would not pass those on and frankly would have issue with my kid having them in class.

Things that sit out, particularly meats and cheeses, give me the heeby jeebees. I eat sausage but I'd never leave it out. Things that take forever to expire are not meant to be consumed. So here I confess that twinkles and those individually wrapped Rice Krispie bars gross me out. Seriously, what is in them???

I forgot about those candies. The one that look like berries and have the squishy insides? I loved those so much as a kid.
Yea.. I wouldn't feel comfortable reusing meat trays and I'm pretty lax about stuff like that. That styrofoam is super porous, I just don't think you could clean it well enough.
