I remember seeing on Friends that you can shorten your restaurant wait times by giving money to the hostess This article was very popular on HN a while ago and discussed extensively: "Bribing maitre d' to skip the line" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1653891 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1653891
