ebony0421 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 the trashman, mailman and maitenance crew? We have a really good mailman, so I was thinking of giving him a little something for Christmas.
biomajor Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I have a mail lady that I really like, so I usually get her some nice chocolates. I pay my trash service $25 a month for one pick up a week--I don't get them anything.
outnumbered Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Nope. My family members are lucky to get presents, LOL, with my budget...I can't do random neighborhood workers too.
peachysquirt21 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Nope never have done it. My mailman keeps changing & they always seem grumpy. LOL
laffnatu Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 <sigh> Maybe my mailman. He's a hottie! My daughter and I stand at the door peeking through the blinds watching him at mail time
biomajor Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Nope. My family members are lucky to get presents, LOL, with my budget...I can't do random neighborhood workers too. You could give them some of your yummy cookies :-) I can't bake or I would go that route instead of the candy.
saraczek Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 We buy little gifts for our childrens' bus driver cause he is always doing special things for the kids on the bus. Other than him we don't buy gifts for the mailperson or garbageperson.
erh12275 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 We live in an apartment complex this year so no trash man. As far as the mailman..we have a different one every other day...and they SUCK. Loved my old mailman and gave him something but not these.
eve Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 never before but maby i'll make cookies this year for my mailman<sigh> Maybe my mailman. He's a hottie! My daughter and I stand at the door peeking through the blinds watching him at mail time lol
Jenniferharrison82 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I never have before, but I just moved and really like my mailman so maybe.
BrandyJervas Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 nope my mail has legs and I've never seen the trash men they come when I'm not home and our maintenence crew sucks and are lucky they have a job let alone a gift from me
eve Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 our maintenence crew sucks and are lucky they have a job let alone a gift from meloli hear that
laffnatu Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 After all these free samples I am signing up for on Gottadeal.. I will have to get my mailman something.
dorkydiva Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I used to get our mailman something--he was nice. But now we've moved and have a PO box so I don't guess I'll do that this year. Never got anything for the garbage man before.
cami_reardon Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 My family has always given them a 1 lb box of Russell Stovers candy. We each end up buying a case of the stuff! It's kind of tradition now and costs a little more than I should spend on them, but they always appreciate it and they always make sure to stop by during the days following Christmas to say Thank you to me. (I live in a town of less than 1000 so we all know each other anyhow.) The maintenance men (3) are very good here and my property is backed up on two sides by the City park, so they help us maintain our bushes and they even mow the portion of our yard that is outside the fence each time they mow. It's really nice. Plus, they plow snow in the park so they always make sure to drop the blade and "turn around" in our driveway. Great guys!!
