Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I only recently heard that some people tip their mail carriers. I know I have a variety of them, so it would be hard to do. Also, aren't postal employees notoriously well-paid?
Signed, would rather tipping were not a facet of our culture, and everyone was paid a living wage.
Even if they resolve the contract today, I don't think we'll see trains running until tomorrow.
If they can get a resolution before noon, I can imagine there could be at least limited service this evening.

Does Christmas tipping count towards a living wage? I hope not. Isn't it more like a consumer-mandated Christmas bonus?
I believe in my googling holiday tips yesterday, I saw that postal service employees can accept non-cash gifts under $20. That said, I'm sure it's a rare mail carrier who would turn away cash in hand.
I don't tip my maildeliverer. I'm in an apartment building with about 15 units, and I end up delivering other people's mail that's been stuck in my mailbox at least once a week. And then there were the two weeks of no mail delivery whatsoever. So I can't say I feel terribly motivated to start now.
In better(?) news, someone at my office left about 15 bottles of Tylenol cold and flu, nighttime (aka knock you on your ass) medicine in the lunchroom for the taking. Considering the ick that's been making the rounds, that's a fairly timely gift.
In my old neighborhood, I would not have given a Christmas gift to our mail carrier. However, our current one is nice, knows Ellie and me, and does a good job.
My FIL gives Christmas $$ to the trash guys and the mail carrier.
I saw the same guidelines, aka, no cash for postal carriers.
Hey, is my phone actually automatically redialing the busy number? Cool!
You got your new phone Jesse? What did you end up getting?
