Christmas Tips

Is it that time of year already? I'll repost my annal Xmas tips spiel.

I'm a reserve, I get no tips. The punter, in turn, gets no favours from me, no 'just sign it for me', no 'just pop it in the bin, over the fence, to my mam three streets away'. I am VERY happy with this arrangement. Merry Christmas

Some old chap offered me a fiver Christmas before last and I politely declined and told him to give it to their regular postie who'd be back the following day, have to say said postie never gave me any however haha. Which is fine, I was at the time the cover one day a week so I thought it'd be wrong taking the money.

Old timer asked for a share of a £50 tip i got on their round. I asked for a share of the £500+ They had been bragging about all week (Rich area). Long story short I bought a new pair of shoes with the £50. Ain’t spoke to the miserable old bag since.

The maximum tip allowed is £40 any more and it is considered a bribe and should be reported to your DOM

And any alcohol given as a xmas tip that is over 10% proof has to be declared to customs and excise.

Don't you think they have their hands full enough stopping illegals and drugs and repatriating MP's who fell foul of the law. I am sure they will not be kicking down your or anyone's door for excepting a wee dram or two!

Bet the CEO has had first's that cost more than that and that's just the Bombay mix wonder if it all is declared must do an investigation about expenses by RM board in the light of them using court action maybe we could find them in breach of something of the nature of the above!

I absolutely agree with what you say my friend,but have been on the receiving end of some nasty threats for fear of me not handing in my full amount that I have collected,and since that I hand in accordingly as to what I think,money the route of all evil,I told the person in question if I was threatened again it will be reported and no doubt he will be sacked,and even had comments in my van log book,I am the senior postie at my office and trust me this stuff rarely happens now,as if it does I simply voice my distaste in it,it begrudges me to hand in what I do hand in,am soon thinking of sharing out my tips to people who do my round without messing it up,they seem to think they are entitled to it having been in the job 5 minutes and useless at it and pally with the boss and get away with it.mmmmmm

Same guy covers my day off every week. Have told him to keep whatever he gets as I have a fixed day off so if it’s given to him it’s most likely meant for him. Last year he did get some in envelopes with my name on which he gave to me and I shared with him. I also give a share to the packet driver.
