Yeah, I was the kid on the bike at 3am as well. I started my route right after the idiot before me got all the Xmas tips, so I didn't have much to lose. But I provided "good" service to everyone, and always obliged any special requests that any of my customers had. The tips just kinda happened on their own. I won't say that I worked for the tips, but it really did help me feel appreciated for the extra bit of effort I put into the job.
If your guy is getting the paper on your porch, and it's regularly on time and in good condition, consider giving him a tip.
