Is anyone so respectful of riduculous laws as to not give the
mail carrier a gift (cash in my case) at Xmas? I've also never
met a carrier who refused the gift and I always get a thankyou
card!

I may be tempted to give a Christmas tip to my maile carrier if he/she
ever manages to deliver all my mail in my mail box, not in thei
neighbours, and only my mail in my box. Given my 30 years experience at
this location I doubt that will ever happen.

I stopped giving the mail carrier the time of day he started cutting
through a flower garden to get to the mailbox. I've asked him twice to
please walk around it and the request doesn't seem to sink in.
