This is a well known phenomenon, especially in places like Las Vegas. You may have seen something similar in movies, where a bill handed to the Maître d' at a nice restaurant gets you a good table?
Thankfully I live in a country where corruption is not tolerated.

Where do you morally draw the line? Would you try to slip a policeman some money if you are stopped for speeding?

If I found an employee doing that, I'd sack them.

That's why I'm curious to know if it is officially tolerated etc? I'd be amazed if it was. If it isn't, I don't go around participating in bribery and fraud.
