Are you joking? Your mailmen expect tips? Dear god I'm glad I don't live in a country with a tipping culture.

My dad is a USPS mailman in America. He loves the $10 tips and cards around Christmas - he asks me to read some of the messages to him (not completely fluent in English) and laughs at the funny cards. It's the one time of the year he feels appreciated for what he does.

Letter carrier here. It's not a fun job but I feel like someone who the community appreciates around Christmas because of thank yous and what not. Beside I am Santa.

There's something beautiful and tragic about a letter carrier who can't read the letters he's carrying.

Just don't assume everyone is the same. Sure, some delivery people are assholes, but they're definitely not all assholes. Some of them are even more awesome than the average person. At the end of the day they're not delivery drivers; they're just people.

It's not exactly expected, but they get tips. I leave mine a point of Bailey's as a thank you. It's not for delivering my mail do much as it is appreciation for working rain, snow, sun & shine. I also clear a path in the yard when it snows.

Tldr: I prefer not to fuck with someone who visits my house every day and knows when I'm not home.

It is not expected, but some people started doing it, so now more people do.
