Agreed. They are doing the job they are paid to do and they really aren't that badly compensated. (Have you seen the perks of working for the Feds?). If someone went out of their way (above and beyond) that's another story. I wish someone gave me a tip when I did the job I was paid for. Would you tip a McDonalds, Wendy's or Chick-Fil-A employee? How about a Cop or Fireman? Where I live now the City Sanitation Workers make over $60K a year plus medical. They chose their career knowing full well what it's benefits are.

Give those tips to homes for battered women, the Red Cross and/or organizations that really need the cash.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! (because EVERYONE doesn't celebrate Christmas so why exclude all the others during the holiday season!)

Do you tip police or fireman? They are providing us as valuable a service as sanitiona and postal employees.?
