How do you tip your mail person? With a non-cash (not dollar bills, not coins, not gift cards, not checks, not any other cash-equivalent) gift with a total value under $20.

I'm not sure how to make my envelop stand out and we have one of those small, granny boxes that sits on the side of the house. A bag o' cookies or bottle of wine with "for your wonderful service" on top of your out-going mail is hard for them to miss.

Yes, I know a bunch of you don't seem to give a fuck. But I don't understand why you all (general use here, oh and @adobeclay specifically) want to be rude fucks by "gifting" something that they can't ethically or legally accept.

Nothing say "Happy Holidays!" like "Please accept this cash token gift, I want you to lose your job".

My SIL is a kingergarten teacher and got the best gift. It was a bottle of wine with a personalized label:

If we had kids, we'd soooo have to do this for everyone.

Find a hobby, seriously.

I have plenty of hobbies. This knowledge isn't part of one of those, it's part of my everyday life (and has been for 40+ years). BTW, my hobbies do not include the giving of knowingly inappropriate gifts--I do not give my BFF, who is Jewish, bacon as a gift or my friend, who is a Hindu, a side of beef as a gift. Because I know better.

You now know better than to give your mail person 1) cash in any form or 2) a non-cash gift worth more than $20. If you ignore that knowledge, as you claim you are going to do, you are being a ass to your mail person on purpose. Living in So-Cal doesn't change that.




(Although I *do* consider calling out rude assholes being chucklefucks on purpose a hobby, so I guess I am participating in one of my hobbies now.)

I give gifts to the kids' teachers. Other than that, I don't give holiday tips.

Do you honestly think your little piece of common knowledge was unknown to me?  Happy holidays? Go fuck your sweet self.

Wow I didn't know this person was a troll.
