Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Just the logistics of trying to tip UPS, postman and garbage collectors.
I am trying to imagine waiting for the garbage man, running out while their equipment is screaming and climbing up steps to their window. Then pounding on it to get their attention. Just to hand them a tip.
I guess it depends on where you live too...
Examples:
You see, in the county we don't have the typical garbage trucks/collectors. We have county trash transfer stations where everyone drops off their garbage and trash. There are three different transfer stations in our county and each is open two days a week. Of course we go to the closest one. After a while you get to know the attendants.
As for delivery drivers around here (FedEx/UPS) I know them all (well most of them) by their first names. They have been delivering packages here for years and usually they literally hand the package to me in person. I know when they are coming and can see them coming for ~1/4 mile down our private road. If I'm not home (rare) they know where to drop my packages.
Heck I know many of the people who work in our local Post Office by name (but they change personnel a lot) and the same with the local cops but many have been around for many years. Same with my local bank, they all know me very well and always greet me as Mr Car-Guy.
So many things are a bit different here than living in a big city/town.
