Giving anything to the mailman/UPS guy?

[slycat]

I receive quite a bit of stuff from both of these guys and i was thinking maybe its a nice gesture to give them something? is it usual to give em something or no?

Just mail something to yourself with their name on it.

For the holiday season, we usually get our mailman a ~$10-15 bottle of wine.

I think what he's trying to suggest is: send something, a post card for example, to yourself. And on the card write something like "Happy Holidays Garry (mailman's name)".

I bet they'd just love an automatic weapon. I'm sure they wouldn't be too picky about what make or model, either.

The mailman and UPS guy can both suck my balls. They're not getting me anything, why would I give either one the time of day? They get a paycheck.

LOL Spoken exactly like someone just up the road from me

USPS is allowed to only get up to 20 dollar tips, i wonder if UPS has similar rules?

 

[thomsbrain]

my mailman is too stupid to read the printed apartment numbers on netflix mailers, so everyone always gets each other's movies. no present for him.

 

[bootymac]

I've never seen my mailman before...

<3rd time pasted rant>

It's funny, I was just complaining at work about the delivery services (Fedex, UPS, DHL) all having their heads up their butts this time of year.

Coupled with the fact that I live in an apartment. With an apartment office that takes and signs for packages, but only if the driver takes it there (About 50 feet away from my building).

They are wildly inconsistent, which is what bothers me. They have all left valuables outside the apartment door now, fedex sometimes takes things to the office, or they just take them away. I've had to drive down to the airport to pick my stuff up, and had the peckerwood fedex guy leave a digital camera outside the apartment 2 weeks ago and leave the note saying authorized to drop off w/o signature. Fvckhead took away my note asking to please leave at apt. office.

Today UPS missed me by about 1/2 hour and didn't leave the laptop sitting outside the apartment(thank God), but they didn't take it to the office either.

They'll try again tomorrow. Probably in the 1 1/2 hours that the apartment will be unoccupied. Fvckers. I think I'm gonna cut and paste this into the like 5 different shipping rant threads I have open in tabs....

Oh....good luck on Fedex getting their heads out of their rears.

EDIT: Those bastards ain't getting poop from me.

Don't you usually get charged postage on this stuff? Why would you feel obligated to give them anything? I mean, if they cut me deals on shipping, rather than always going by the book (because there is NO other way to do it) then I might... just like you tip a bartender more if they give you a free drink or so...

I feel bad for my mailman.. Not only do I get 1000 magazines, packages almost every day, etc.. But my wife wouldn't answer the door one time because she saw a large black man at our door (while I was not there) and my dog was going nuts. She knew that he saw her inside, but the dog going crazy and made my wife more scared. Little did she know that the dog FREAKING HATES HIM. (I told her later)

I don't know how I feel about this, because I am glad my wife doesn't answer the door when (any color) man is there, when I am not there.. She is too afraid of being robbed/raped or something.

Maybe I will get him something.

If you are a Male - give them ammunition for their gun, they always seem to run out of ammo when they shoot up the city or office.

If you are Female - give them some "trim" that would be the best gift of all time.......

 

[darkamulets]

Last year I took my fedex guy out for drinks. He delivered over 100 packages to my house last year

 

[slycat]

not too expensive but not the $10 variety either.
