Never seen that. What's next? Tip jars on the dealer's tables at the card show.

Default Tips

Tips are absolutely not accepted. Someone could get fired for that. Gifts over $20 should not be accepted, but with the carriers, the transaction is never reported to the anyone, so it does happen.

As a Postmaster, I don't accept any gifts, except for the occasional plate of cookies or candy that is brought in by a customer, and I always share that with my employees. During this last Xmas season a customer sent me a card with $20, and rather than offend this customer by returning it (he insisted that I keep it), I donated the $20 to a local food bank in the name of the Post Office.

Glad everyone saw this as wacky as I did. Out of an abundance of caution I am going to delete the title of this thread because I really don't want to endanger someone's livelihood over something so ridiculous, particularly a nice person.

My "mail lady" Virginia is awesome! And at Christmas I give her a $20 gift certificate to our local diner (the max gift she can accept). She wrote me a nice thank you card (sent through the mail with a stamp) this lady is squeaky clean LOL!
