| Tipping/Bribes When Going Out
Just read this older article... Pocketful of Dough - Tips on Tipping: 2000s Archive : gourmet.com
I know it's not based in Vancouver, but is the similar effects of tipping culture here as well?

I won't mind doing it LOL, except Vancouver will never have a restaurant with a 2700 people waiting list.

I guess I don't go out often enough, or high class enough to ever need to tip to get a table.
RS meet, 40 people, we tip Antons to take over restaurant?

I always associate tipping with bribery, except tipping gets done after the deed is supposedly done.

I think Revscene can make a slightly more upscale choice than Anton's.

i haven't tried this to this extent, but i've slipped a 20 at joey's during the playoffs last year to get a table.
"we're fully booked, sorry."
*slips 20*
"let me see what i can do." 5 mins later i was being sat.

I would do this if i was on vacation or something. But i would never do this in Vancouver. Vancouver restuarants have alot of competition and good food out there. If ones that busy, its off to the other.
Tipping the Maitre D is no different than greasing ur way into a club which ive been guilty of doing multiple times.

Doesn't really happen in Vancouver. We have too many good restaurants for our population. Book a couple days ahead and you can get a reservation nearly anywhere. The only places that are trouble are the ones that don't take reservations.
Going to try this the next time I go to New York or Chicago.

Trying to rent a boat on the august long weekend = bribing the guy at the front desk lol
A little cash goes a long way. That said, like many others have mentioned, there's not very many restaurants in vancouver that have huge lineups
