The mail lady is nice. The older guy sucked so bad, so she's awesome in comparison. She actually comes in and hands us the mail, says hi and pets the dog(s). The other guy would open the door and toss in our packages.  |
Yeah, it doesn't really help since I don't even completely remember the rule! This was when I lived in NY, and if you don't tip absolutely everyone you come into contact with, you basically guarantee yourself horrible service for the rest of the year. Cash was king there.

Are you on Pinterest? I have a board there just for miscellaneous gift ideas.
I try not to give sweets for the holidays, because everyone is trying to watch their weight these days, and there's already so much sugar around. That's just me, though.
