Tips on tipping: Who deserves it? How
much?
PEN Ed Note: It is our opinion that this practice by
USPS should have ceased years ago. Their flimsy reasoning that carriers
could/would provide superior service to tipping customers does not and has
never held water. Carriers provide the same service to each and every
customer - if the customer believes that their carriers service is
exceptional and desire to tip him/her ANY amount then that should be their
business...not a worry of USPS. It is also our opinion that PFP pay for
USPS management is nothing more than a 'tip' from USPS for reaching
certain service goals that, in reality, have been reached by their craft
employees...not management. Every Christmas USPS seems so thrilled to
inform the populace and media regarding rules on tipping postal employees.
Employees...if you get a tip then keep this information to yourself. -
