For me the key phrase is
"thankful I'm in a position to tip them."
Sadly, I outlived my dear wife although I expected just the opposite. I centered all my financial planning around providing for her future expenses so she would not have to work after my death.
Now, when I see an older woman working in a restaurant I always overtip substantially as an expression of my thanks that my wife never had to go through that.
I do tip the newspaper carrier. I had not thought to tip the mail delivery person. I do know that here in TV they are not federal employees, but contractors, so will probably give a tip this year.
