xmas tips

Post by korky »

my 7th xmas as a postie, 1st on own duty, currently booming on £34 with 2 shifts to go!
might not seem much to some, but i can honestly say i think ive raked in £3 all in at best in the previous 6 years, did get 2 fivers and a tenner but gave them to the regulars.

Hi my round was changed and I had a lot of big tippers on the part taken off,

The new part added on houses only had £10 plus a box of chocs but my usual regulars got £140
plus 4 presents and a few more to come , one person even gave my son a box of sweets and a dvd. Been on my round 6yrs, made nearly £300 last year,

But I am happy, had last week off so not too bad this week,
