Actually, my mail guy has been delivering my mail for 15 years, same guy. He's great. He knows me well and I know him well. But in the older days (and I'm not super old, hehe) people tipped their mailman at Christmas time and he was considered a special person to give a gift to just like any other person that services you in whatever way. Nowadays people are just rude and don't do the things they used to do in my days. I live in a townhouse and we have small mailboxes. If my package won't fit in the mailbox, he walks it over to my unit personally and puts it inside my screen door. If it won't fit in my screen door, he stashes it for me in a chair on my front porch behind my wall. He deserves some appreciation and he treats me great because of it.
