We don’t. We don’t see these workers and I don’t think they expect it. If we 
did, it would be a batch of cookies or something like that. Not money. We have 
left out cookies for the mail carrier because we get to know them and the 
service feels more personal (at least when we have a regular person who isn’t 
talking on their phone constantly.)
