I live in a small town of about 60 people and our mail comes via mail carrier (rural route). He is a friend of the family and I made little quick breads, and we have hunters who give us so many jars of homemade jellies and jams each time they come we can not keep up, so I made a little package of breads and jellies to give to him and he ended up getting in trouble as the head postmaster here (who can be a real pain) said this was accepting bribes while on the job. So now we give them to him when not in his official vehicle. Even though he uses his own personal car for delivering mail.
