Sometimes instead of just dropping stuff off if I’m not there, he’ll come back the next day. That saves me a trip to the post office, so I wanted to acknowledge him somehow.

Yes! Whole Foods has a fresh meat counter, with real butchers. I usually buy a whole bunch of small packages, and often go to this one guy. He is very nice, always makes custom/fresh cuts even when not asked, and wraps it all carefully. We “visit”, chat about what’s up with him etc 🙂

I thought about a Starbucks card, but not everyone likes it. That’s why I think maybe a Whole Foods card, so he can spend it right there. What’s a Peets?

With people like hairdresser or housekeeper it’s easier, because one pays them anyway, so money is not awkward, it’s part of the “relationship”.

Thanks!

Well, a steak is definitely not a good idea. And cash would be awkward. How about a Starbucks or Peets card? I never thought to tip the mailman, but I definitely tip the housekeeper and newspaper delivery man.
