The regular carriers had notations on their mail cases where the mail was sorted so the subs knew who the tippers were. You definitely wanted to keep the tippers happy. Same with jobs I had as a kid pumping gas. You knew who
tipped and who didn't. Guess who had every speck washed off their windshield whenever they stopped in?
I had a similar experience when I lived in an apartment building. I always tipped the super and they always knew to stop by my apartment for a cold drink on a hot day or a warm drink on a cold day. I could call for a repair at 10 P.M. and the super would be there within minutes. Other neighbors complained that they couldn't get anything fixed or that it sometimes took days for anyone to show up. Wonder why that was?

I am very disappointed in the attitude of employees such as in the above quote. To think that someone does a better job for a customer in order to expect a tip is very poor. Nurses, physicians , all health care workers, police,firefighters, as well as many other occupations are not allowed to accept tips or presents. They take care of the public without expecting any other "present" except perhaps thank you for a job well done.
