(54,330 posts)The final tab was only 3.70, not 5. It took some time to fill in those circles individually, but I did. Luckily, there wasn't much of a line at the post office, so I was in and out of there in five minutes, and almost all of the counter workers there know me by name. They get paid crap, and work long hours, often having to deal with impossible people at the counter.
At Christmas time, it is customary to leave them an envelope with 5 or 10 if you have been happy with their service, which many are not (some people expect their letters delivered with breakfast in bed--at least it seems that way from how they treat the workers there). It is to help them with their own office Christmas party, for which the Postal Service gives them exactly zero. I always give them 100, because I know the hours they put in. Maybe other people do, too, but they sure treat me as if I'm the only one. It's a small price to pay for year-round friendly service.
