I don't either. Most of those people make pretty good money so I don't see a need.

Never thought about it.... though at work (at pretzel stand), we sometimes offer them a drink or a pretzel.

I never do it for home delivery.

I only tip them around the holidays or if the package they delivered was heavy.

DONT!!!

if a lot of people start doing this, they will expect to get tips!! (like rest waiters...)

if he is carrying a lot of stuff, you can offer him drink or somthin..

No, but i tip their truck. They don't like that. They get in it and floor it and it just grinds around in circles.

Maybe if a guy just unloaded a ton of heavy boxes I'd offer him a glass of water or something, but no money. The delivery guys make very decent money.

During the Christmas Holidays I give everyone a small token of my appreciation of their service.
