Agreed.
I delivered my route for several years and, if I may say so, did a commendable job.
Papers were on time and placed where the customer wanted them.
I got to know my customers well.
They typically gave me small weekly tips (as in, keep the change from $3 for a $2.75 subscription.) At holiday time many of them gave a tip, anywhere from a few dollars up to $10. This was the early 1980's.
I never asked for tips and would never even have thought of leaving a tip envelope.
If some one did that to me now it would not be well received.
