To have no clue about tipping the postman!

[Izzy82]

Is this the done thing? I heard a woman in the post office today saying she tipped her postman and her bin man! I've never in my life tipped the postman, in fact, up until a few months ago I had never even laid eyes on him. but I'm on maternity leave now and have done all my christmas and baby shopping on line so speak to him regularly. Today he delivered my post, saw I wasn't in so came back an hour later with my packages. Bless him!
So, are you tipping your postman and if so, how much?

I don't tip anyone. My hairdresser was particularly chatty yesterday but she didn't get a tip either! Postman endeavour to leave your parcels with a neighbour or in a safe place so they don't have to carry the damn things back to the sorting office. They are not doing you a personal favour. These people are paid to do a job. I am a nurse. No bugger tips me.
