Why should you tip the owner of a business, there setting the price you pay. I for one am tipped to death. We have a favorite Charity we give to year around and that's all we can do.

It is a personal choice and I choose to show my appreciation for his reasonable price, dependability, and quality of service. It is not like I am mailing the tip to an office, but rather am handing it to the sweaty guy with callused hands who is wearing grass and dirt stained clothes and holding a weedeater in my yard.

I once ask my father about who to tip-he said "Everybody loves money"

How much to person at the mailbox?

I think I'm about tipped out. Everyone wants to be tipped for doing their job. My money goes to the needy children in our area. Each person must make their own decision as to whether to tip or not.

I know we have done this to death in other years, but I do have a legitimate question. If the person who does your yard work is the owner of a successful and quite large business do you tip him at this time of year?

Apart from that, who else do you take care of with a tip.

If it's an owner of a one-person business, I will tip. Clearly this person is not rolling in cash but working hard like the rest of us. If the owner is the owner of what appears to be a multi employee successful business, I would be reluctant to tip that owner.

You do what you feel is right or can afford. I choose to give these mail people a bit more than lunch at McDonalds. They do a good job
