WOW! Floger, I wish I had something to deliver to you. What a bunch of yummies!
My USPS guy has triplets so I have given him movie gift certificates, food coupons......that kind of thing. UPS and FedEx usually just cash.
It is true that a kind word and warm smile can go so very far with these people. They are taken for granted by so many, yet we are so dependent on them. Can you imagine if a delivery person just got sick of it and decided to throw all their mail/packages into a dumpster somewhere? In just a few days they could create serious chaos! They are behind the scenes heroes.
I just wish I could put air conditioners in the UPS trucks..... I feel so bad for them in the summer.
