You shouldn't be worrying about the Tips. They're just a perk at Christmas. Consider your Full Time Employment, and how much that means to you, and your Family. Too many Posties in my DO chase around after their customers, kissing ass & trying to keep them sweet.... just incase they give them a Tip at Christmas! Just do your job properly ... and protect your own ass!

If its your regular duty and you know the customer then I did sign for stuff and left it, and got well tipped for it at Christmas, however if I did'nt trust the customer or I was on a round that was'nt my regular then 739 every time, would'nt even try a neighbour if I did'nt know the round. This I will add was on a rural round in Norfolk, good country folk who had lived at the same addresses for 20+ years, possibly not the same fly by nights that some of you have the misfortune to deliver to.
