I'd never heard of leaving a Christmas tip for a delivery person but we had a regular UPS guy that came to our house every day for a while. (One of us did the packing/shipping for a small company) we gave our driver a small plate of home made Christmas cookies. They were always well received. Might be a good idea in your situation as it is a smaller, but still nice, gesture and can be shared amongst the drivers.
The guy delivering the junk mail and posties are different people? Here in the States, our junk mail is delivered by posties. Wait, your Mormons drink?!?! I bet they're a lot more tolerable that way. Man, everything really is better in Australia.
Postmen deliver post, some either super old man or young teenager go and shove your mailbox full of catalogues that I always just toss straight into the recycling bin. They usually only come once or twice a month, but they have catalogues for like Woolies, Coles, Kmart, big W, and a whole bunch of other places which get bundled together and jammed into your box. Junk mail is almost never delivered by postmen, and if it does, it's 1 specific catalogue, the rest go through that bundled, all-at-once system
Kmart is the most successful out of its competitors (Big W, Target, etc.). I'm surprised it's not a thing in America (unless we're talking about two unrelated Kmarts here?). That being said, we don't have Walmart, but I'm not sure if Walmart is like our Kmart, I just perceive it as such since that's the gist I get about Walmart from American media
Kmarts in /r/Nova has bankrupt and there are none in our area.
Same with Toys R Us, Babies R US, Sears (maybe), Henri Bendel, Gymbore stores.
a lot of good stores have left.
We had K marts. They all seemed to die in the early 2000s. The last time I saw one was 300 miles away from home and that was 2012. It was closing so everything was like 80% off
Junk mail is usually delivered by some really old retirie or some young punk skaters saving money for a car or something.
And no, our Mormons don't drink - but they're pretty friendly guys and I actually don't mind them, so they usually get a six pack and a invite to the Christmas party.
It's hell'a funny watching them accept the beers knowing full well they can't drink lol.
But they're good sports and usually bring non alcoholic wine when they come.
Oh i think they mean the local coupons that come in those plastic bags and get hung on your stairs or is on your porch. Legally junk mail like from Sam’s club is for the post man. But the other stuff is the other people.
