In our area, apparently we have a new delivery person who started in November. The previous one was Aug-Nov and who knows who was before that.


The service has always been and remains stellar.


The dilemma...who/how to tip? Give a year's tip to someone who has been on board a month? I usually send it at Christmas to the person who put the envelope in with the paper. My subscription isn't up til Jan/Feb and it seems late and impersonal to do it then. I wonder if the Daily Sun apportions it to current and former delivery persons? Somehow, I doubt it.



The Aug-Nov carrier left an envelope at my door but did not identify himself as the former delivery person. Seems a bit disingenuous to me.


If even just 50% of their customers tip, it's a sizeable end of year bonus.
