The sad part is that she was so old she was using her breasts to wash the floor.

No drivers are obligated to tip their preloaders.
Is that in the Union contract?

I dislike receiving tips, especially when they are coming from someone who almost certainly makes less than I do. However, I also recognize that they get joy out of giving them, so I accept them with gratitude. If I have a helper, I pass the tip on to him/her; if I dont I put it in a Salvation Army kettle or otherwise donate it to someone in need. There are a lot of wineries on my route and a lot of them give me a nice bottle of wine every Christmas; rather than trying to explain to them that I am in recovery and dont drink, I accept them with thanks and bring them home to my wife who loves good wine.

Different one, different days, all the time.

I'm gonna give my helper a $50 gift card to Cabela's, he's a big outdoorsy kinda guy.

Gave my last loader 50 bucks every year so I will give my new one the same. They are both excellent loaders. Not sure if it is enough but they do get paid for what they do.

I don't send them out but I do drop off a card at the stop. It depends on the situation. A couple of people handed me cash and I shook their hand and thanked them in person. Another left me a c note in a card so I left a thank you on the door. Same with the company that gave me a bunch of cheese and sausage.

$100 for the loader and $50 for the helper. Stopped at the ATM last night on the way home. They must have just received a shipment because the $20 bills were all brand new.

Got my tip today from one of my customers.
100% free.
Wasn't exactly a "tip," per se, I had to win a photo contest to get it, but it makes for an awesome Christmas!

I've never had someone give me a fully cooked turkey before.

So far I've received an awesome box of fine Swiss pastry, a bag of truffles, brownies, cookies, a homemade pumpkin cake, $120 cash. All of my customers get my best service. Some just like to demonstrate their appreciation. I am grateful and don't expect anything. Love to hear a friendly "Thank you" and offer an eager "You're welcome" in kind
