Remember the Postal Carrier

Don’t forget to “tip” the mailman! Showing some appreciation this time of year is not only important as a business person but it is also rewarding as an act of kindness. For those of you that have never tipped the mail-carrier, generosity certainly does bring on some good karma.

Mail carriers that feel appreciated will go above and beyond meeting your postal needs in addition to scanning and going that extra mile. Example: One time I had my mail ready for pick-up and realized after she picked up the packages I had put the wrong item in one of the boxes. I jumped in the car, found her on the route to explain and she gave the box back to me and drove back over to my house while I put the right item in the box and she waited while I packaged the other item to the proper person! WOW that is service! I can count on my mail carrier to treat my mail with respect. She even has backed up the truck in the driveway and helped me with unloading my orders of priority mail boxes to stack in the garage! One time I made a comment to her, you amaze me of how hard you worked and her reply was simple “It’s my job!”

In my experience, our mail carriers have never let us down in our area. We have been blessed because this lovely lady is not the first amazing worker we’ve had on our route so this proves, she is not an acceptation. Mail carriers are people too and they all should be shown respect so please take a moment and include a “tip” or a nice gift to the mail carriers on your route or in your local post-office. Drop off a batch of cookies and give them some Holiday love!
