You know what, here's the example I give you. Please have a look (may not happen in your place but happens everywhere else):
- You have got to get your store's license renewed but there's a huge lag and there are many people ahead line: Pay the officer, problem solved.
- Need to renew your passport: Pay the consul officer, you get it all expedited.
- etc etc
Yes, that's exactly what you are doing. You are bribing them to do something that they should do normally. They will basically keep misplacing other people's deliveries, treat other guests bad, losing others' luggage, making others take their day off, not do plumbing in time, not fix people's flats, while they do yours because you pay them some "extra money".
Rephrase it what you want but we are talking about clear bribes here.
- Crito 13y agoIf bribery is necessary for me to receive good service, then I will use bribery. Paying a bribe does not violate my moral code (although demanding one does) so that is not important to me. What is important to me is correctly getting the order that I payed for in a timely manner. For the record: Bribery, as you describe it, is alive and well in America. My brother wanted to go to the Naval Academy. In order to be accepted, he needed a nomination. How did he get a nomination? He volunteered for the reelection campaign of one of his senators. Asking your senators/representatives for help expediting the processing of documents is fairly common too.
- balladeer 13y agoWell then I would just say "good for you" and then let's agree to disagree:-)
