Ppl. Omfgs.

Last week we got together all the sensible sized coins int house. Divided it into tips for delivery folks to say thanks for your essential work

Cos it is essential (esp since we were isolating) & often thankless (full disclosure; I worked in a mail depot once)...

& It was just to show some love, the tips weren't massive, we don't have epic amounts of cash kicking about, we just wanted to say "thanks; we appreciate you" yk?

I didn't rly expect to get a response. But like. So far 1 person has almost burst into tears at getting sth nice…

& today we got a letter back! I've crossed out identifying mark (it's on an envelope) & name of company in the text, bc I don't wanna get anyone into trouble, eh

It reads "thank you very much for the delivery tip you have me on Saturday! I was flustered and humbled to receive it

"but it was very kind & generous of you.

We've been struggling a bit at [company] lately, staff numbers down & volumes up = a toxic combination!

But knowing we're appreciated by some of the general public really helps! So thanks for putting a spring in my step! :)"

The rest of the letter says what they were getting with the tip etc. It was the nicest letter

I wish delivery companies looked after their staff better. I wish more ppl valued this kinda labour.

But still.

Be good to ppl when you're able to, y'all
