ACTUALLY, mail carrier is one of post office positions that is NOT salary. As far as tipping your mail carrier with money on holidays and other random times, you may want to reconsider. If he/she is caught accepting money, even as a gift, he/she will be fired. Small gifts, food, and things of the such are fine, but money can...and on several occasions HAS....costs jobs. The best gift you can give your carrier is a bottle of cold water on a hot day or cup of hot coffee or cocoa on a cold one.

WOW really? I only had one carrier say that to me, because I had put the money in an Xmas envelope . . . he said he didn't celebrate Xmas and he couldn't accept if it was and Xmas gift . . . if it WASN'T and it was ONLY for good service he could take it?? Thanks for the tip! I'll stick to gift cards!
