The Cleaners of London

[Sheilbh]

Do you guys tip the postman at Christmas?

He's a civil servant.

Privatised in the UK. But they wouldn't be considered civil servants anyway.

I don't, I'm in London so I never see him and when I do it's not always the same guy. But my parents tip (not much, but a bottle of scotch every few years) and also tip the bin men (again not much) and more or less anyone near the house will be offered mince pies

How much should I tip the concierge? There are 4 in total, on four shifts. Should I tip all of them???

This tipping culture is madness!!! 

These are not concierges.

He's a civil servant.

Who your preferred elected officials and economic model are actively attempting to eliminate.  Give him a fucking box of cookies, for fuck's sake.

Well, they are receptionists in my residential building.

We always gave gift boxes of yummies (bread, cookies, etc) to the mailman, the garbage men and the school bus driver.  Because it's the fucking holiday season.

My dad received hopeful Christmas cards from his postman, bin man and milkman. I had to drop him off at the cashpoint the other weekend because they'd cleaned him out of all his cash

Traditionallyyou are meant to tip the postman.
But... Yes... In light of privatization.... Should it still be done?

[Grey Fox]

I don't think I've ever seen my postman.

[Richard Hakluyt]

Their terms and conditions have deteriorated a lot over the past 20 years or so, they deserve a tip, especially if you have a regular postman of course.

We only get them from the dude who delivers our newspaper.  And I still get one from the Governor of West Virginia.  Not sure what he wants.

Christ did not die for cookies!

Christ did not die for cookies!

Sure he did.  Matthew 26.  "...And Jesus took the Santa-shaped sugar cookie, and blessed it.  He broke off Santa's head and said, 'Take this cookie, the one with the good hard frosting, not that crappy soft stuff, and eat it.  This is my body.'"
