Yea I remember my grandparents, in the 90s, would always task me to put the envelope in the mailbox for the mailman during Christmas season. think it was $20 or $40 but they never failed every year.
I'm a mail carrier, and my customers were super generous this year. But I give away all the cash and gift cards anyhow. Other people need that stuff more than I do. But I do give each customer a handwritten thank-you note.
I give my carrier a cash gift (usually $40 or so) with a note saying, "If you can't accept this, please donate it to a charity of your choice." I've never gotten a TY but I do get my mail, so it's all good.
Sounds more like "Pauly the mailman" tipped your mom! 😂 And then the interest compounded from that tip to where after after about 9 months, the deposit reached maturity! ❤
I hate the idea of tipping people. I live in an area and country where very few people are tipped (restaurants, taxis, or hair salons only) because we do not have services that generally get tipped in my remote area. I don't use those services either as do my own hair, cook my own food, and no longer go on vacations where you have to carry pockets full of tip money. I wish employers would just pay employees what they are worth so tipping can be ended. If you don't make enough to manage your expenses, then get training so you are more valuable to a business to be paid accordingly. Glad to say I have never had to work at a job where it was acceptable to tip me because I would find it demeaning to be handed money for doing my job properly!
It is not as hard as it looks, especially if you have the right cut/style for your face shape and hair texture. Fast answer: Buy some scissors meant for hair cutting (mine was from a drug store about 5"- 6" long total length including handles) and cost about $14.00 (Goody brand). Never use those to cut anything else but your hair! Find an easy care cut for your hair texture and face shape, watch how it is cut in a salon, watch RUclips videos on how to cut your own hair, have a bathroom mirror that sides fold in (don't have one of those anymore though), MUST wash (and condition your hair if you do that), cut hair while damp and cut longer than you think as it will shorten when it dries, last thing is pretend your hair is electrified and standing on end from your scalp and up all around you. Sides I cut as it rests on my cheeks and not pulled up and out. Partition your hair and cut in sections separately -top, sides, back, bottom. Hold strip you are going to cut out from scalp and cut hair above fingers. Lastly don't panic as it will grow back. I brush it all back and fluff up the top once it air dries on its own. Ramblings: We only have one hairdresser in town that works only one day a week and I have been to her twice (over 15 years ago). I live within a few minutes of driving so had a shower and washed my hair before going for a cut or trim. It took her 20 minutes and she continuously chatted with her sister and friend sitting around her little shop. Not paying attention to what she was doing and first time was fine, second time was awful and I knew I could do it myself better plus she cut one side slightly longer than the other. It was $30.00 Canadian and extra for the tip. I have always cut my kids' hair and my son at 12 even got dragged to the salon by his friend because he wanted his hair cut like my son's. (Just a regular shortish layered boy cut). Daughter was taken for a treat to a real hairdresser when we were on one of our RV touring trips when she was 13. I let her handle what she wanted done with the stylist. When we left the salon she asked me to recut it once we got home because she didn't like how she looked. Think about how your hair looked at its best (the style you liked) and watch how the stylist cuts that. So many 'how to cut your own hair' on RUclips. I am in my 70s with square type face so best style is just above shoulder length, whispy sides, bangs to cover my eyebrows. Start by a wash and bit of conditioner first, when still damp, comb it all forward from top back and trim bangs longer than I think they should be (hair moves up when dry). Trim sides at an angle from chin across cheeks to meet bangs, now top of head (pretend your hair is standing up on end, cut sections in rows and everything above my fingers, leave about 4 inches below fingers and do about 3 of those rows. next back of head same - pull straight sectioned hair as if electrified and hair straight out from scalp - two sections at top, then finish off bottom edge pulling straight down and use other hair as a length guide. Done... 20 minutes and saved about $30-$50. I do these about every 4 weeks and also color my own hair a medium brown (L'Oreal Preference Superior #5 Milan) because I am gray and it makes me looked tired and washed out if I don't. There used to be a gadget called Flowbee (that cost about $70.00) that attached to your vacuum cleaner so it sucked your hair upright and you could put in length attachments so anything cut in the hand held gadget. Never bought one but thought it was extremely clever!
I tip my mail carrier well, and I even gave him an aluminum snowshovel for winter, but I'm a carrier too. Even if I didn't like my carrier, I'd give him a little something. You can change someone's attitude by showing a little kindness. Too many people only think of themselves and their families. I get it, because my own parents raised me to be selfish. I think it's true that you can't buy friendship, but you can certainly buy goodwill. The Mafia used to do it, and even the Mexican cartels do it.
In my country, is is still common practice, to give the food deliverer each time, and other people, such as the garbage men, and the deliverer of the newspaper a tip end of december. They earn not a lot of money, work in all weather, so they deserve some extra.
I remember my mother having bottles with wrap on them at Christmas. The mailman, the guy at the local market…… . It was a lot different back then though (60’s)
yep! everywhere but America... where service industry people get shafted in pay and food service there's no requirement of minimum pay. 3 bucks an hour and tips. it's crazy. right wingers say the restaurants would go out of business if they paid a living wage. that's America for ya.
After the pathetic service that our mailman and post office has been giving us for the past several years, our tip to them is for them to start doing their responsibility to earn their pay
I don't see anything wrong with tipping the mailman. People tip their newspaper deliverer. Was tipping so unusual in the early 2000s that it justified setting up a camera to get reactions?
My sense of it was that some people tip their postal worker but many don't. I don't think it's any different today. Watching the reactions we got I think we were obviously "justified" in setting it up. -Peter
This is a head of its time. Just like the fools who think they should be tipped for making your sub. And the companies love it. Because once they see that people are tipping, they can lower their wages and depend on customers to pay their employees directly.
back in the 50's / 60's, it was a common practice to give the mailman a Christmas present
Yea I remember my grandparents, in the 90s, would always task me to put the envelope in the mailbox for the mailman during Christmas season. think it was $20 or $40 but they never failed every year.
My wife and I still do. Also to the renovation workers.
I still do! Homemade cookies!
Thanks for the smile... and a chuckle!
Thanks for the upload. We all need some laugh these days.

2024 they all want tips!
back in the 50's / 60's, it was a common practice to tip the mailman .
2024 nobody tips the mailman.
Especially the foreigners!
I think my Mom did more than just tip the Mailman, as I grew up and older, everyone said hey you look just like our old mailman Pauly🤔
Plus, that was a standard joke , maybe your dad was the milkman or mail carrier .
Sounds more like "Pauly the mailman" tipped your mom!

I’m friends with my UPS driver. I call and hang out with him quite often.

How do you cut your own hair? Isn't it impossible to do the back and sides?
@@jbaris It's easy, I have done it many times and looks no worse than an average hairdresser's job

Here before anyone decries ‘tipping culture’ as an excuse not to tip DoorDash/etc. drivers who use their own vehicles and get paid $2.
There will always be people who need to take that job that pays unfairly, so things will not improve. Complain and you will be immediately replaced.
Pretty pajamas
Wait, people didn't use to tip the mail carrier?
I had a friend (mail carrier)in 90s she was getting tip around 4,5, G During Christmas and New Year. NY
The Postman always rings twice?
I give mail carrier something for holidays.
Of course I do, it is 2024...I tip my garbage men...I appreciate all these people and I want them to know that. Rules do not faze me 😂😂
Here in Australia most of us find Americans tipping amusing ,

So you don't tip...as a matter of principle.
@@jaymike3302 There is no reason to tip. Has nothing to do with principle.
@@MP-in4or It's rude and selfish to go out to dinner or bars in the United States, Mexico...and not tip.
