I have a few drinks and I will TIP the Bartender $20.00 USD from first Drink cause NOBODY TIPS THE BARTENDER! IT IS EXPECTED SERVICE! THIS SOLUTION HAS NEVER CAUSED ME ANY PROBLEM from hanging out in the Lounges for HOURS!!! Learn How the World Works People! Take Care of the People Taking Care of You and The World Will Turn!!!

Well , so you spend $ 40 to bribe your way in where you are not entitled...Is this a good move I wonder considering such practices may wel become an accepted entitlement with corresponding service level. A pity that you may have done this in Southern India or even a metro city where bribing unlike "developed" countries where the lower level people have their basic needs satisfied, though I have heard of the $ 20 bill to secure a room upgrade.
