I just give my postman a tip at Christmas,  and the paper boy.

I rarely go anywhere much that requires tips during the year.

And me, with a Christmas card.
I had an odd one about tipping about a month ago, I was looking at ordering some stuff online from a clothing retailer at the time I wasn't aware that the retailer was in China, so picked what I wanted and went to payment and there was the total amount due and a small box asking what percentage tip I would like to add!
I didn't complete the order, how bloody cheeky! What was I supposed to be tipping for?

I've found it common for Chinese sellers to include a small gift with their stuff.

I've only rarely bought direct from the US but bought two items at different times from an American company. Both orders included one of these oversized Polo mints. I think all US food comes oversized as standard.

Hah,  yes, they are becoming a rarity aren't they Scrumpy.   :smiley:
I still see one sometimes, but they don't seem as common as they used to be. 

I reckon it's  to do with climate change.   Everything else gets blamed on that.

Blimey,   I agree, Vlad.   
I'd have done the same as you and cancelled.
