My son was a paper carrier when he was about 11. At Christmas he was given from $5. to $20 in a card from some people. He was given wonderful chocolates from others and from others, nothing. He never once asked for anything, nor sent out cards and made anyone feel obligated. He was not offended by those he did not recieve something from, as he never expected to recieve anything. His verbal thank you and a big smile was what his customers recieved. If I were you, I would give the adult carrier a nice wrapped box of chocolates left where she leaves your paper, with her name on it.

In a word: YES! How delightfully thoughtful of you! And they'll not only usually appreciate that thoughtfulness, but throughout the coming year they'll be far less likely to call your route boss and complain about you. They might leave a note for YOU, though, asking for their paper NOT to be left under the automatic sprinkler.

You bet! You'll be their favorite newspaper carrier, and they may tip you if they find out it's your birthday, etc. If you start a realtionship with them, it benefits you and the newspaper.

If you do give a thank you card, I guarantee next year's tip will be better. Never hurts to show your appreciation for something.

No, you don't make much so it is not necessary. Instead of using a card, use post-it for the thank yous.

Yes. It would be even nicer to thank the person when
you collect for the paper.

It's very appropriate. And I'm sure your tipper will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
