I used to tip my mailman like that

Several years back my home-based business had a large volume of mail coming in, several times a normal household volume. So I tipped the mail man, as he was good about handling it all and getting packages to me if the weather was bad (we live in a semi-rural area.)
That's changed because so much of the "mail" now comes in electronically and most packages come via UPS/FedEx, etc., who bring them to the door anyway.
So I don't tip him anymore. Plus the sorting process at the local post office mixes first-class mail with junk mail, so it's easy for things like checks or bills to get mixed in with junk mail and inadvertently tossed. So... service declined, and I see no need to tip the guy.
