Dunno why people worry, just do the job, no point hoping that people will like you enough to tip you.

I think its more than that. I see it as a thankyou for going that extra mile during the year. I see it as a bonus for delivering in ridiculously bad weather that really we should get triple pay for doing. I see it as a simple act of human kindness that says to the postman"I know you get a regular wage and all that, but here's a tip for delivering all them ebay packets that i dont need and xmas cards i look at once and hang on the wall looking tacky".
I also see it as a bloody right cause it's a bloody hard friggin job with stupid hours and a job that a lot of people pack in the first week of doing.

Nuff said.

Things are looking up! i currently have £142 and 2 presents, more than last year and more than i expected

[taurus88]

I've doubled mine today to £20 - plus a box of quality street. Not bad for a 'deprived' area, but it still wouldn't have made any difference to me had I got £0 or £100 (although the latter would have let me out-boast the resident boaster with his £90 so far). I've been on this job for 18 weeks, so I've made a positive impression on a few folk at least.

I'm up to £15 now, I must be doing something right.

[IloveMYredTROLLEY!]

70 squids, some Thorntons choccys and a bottle of Chardonnay!

Bit shocked to be honest, been given tips off some customers who I have barely seen since signing up to this walk in late March.

I was even happy to give my "day off cover" (it was his walk from starting as a rookie last Xmas until resign) £10, ~1/6 of my tally upto yesterday. Don't all die of shock!

[DGP1]

So far, £125, 1 bottle of wine, 1 tin of Quality Street, some biscuits, other sweets so all in all a good year for me

And a lot of the cards saying how thankful they are for me delivering in this weather which has made me feel a lot happier and not as grumpty as I usually am (and more likely to go that extra mile to deliver for them and not for RM).

[redspartapost]

£256 and 1 bottle of wine,little bit down on last year but not complaining as times are hard.just as happy with the cards from customers with nothing in them

[SWIM]
