The punchline is that the cashier doesn’t get any of the tips; they’re pure profit for the business.

"Hi customer, would you like to give us bonus money for no reason other than your accommodating nature?"

Yeah. Only ever tip in cash and in person. The suave 20-in-the-handshake looks cool but it's risky.

How is it risky? Once I bribed two people within five minutes in Chicago to get on a flight I was late for. What did I risk?

Yup, bribes aren't illegal unless it's to government employees. And even then, I think it's only illegal to accept bribes, with maybe an exception if you bribed someone to get away with a crime.

So yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with bribes, I just don't do it because screw that noise.
