Re: Corruption
I don't agree that tipping is bribery, but the reason waiters earn little in some countries is that they are expected to live off tip. In Sweden, and Finland I guess, we have agreements between unions & employers regarding wages & labour conditions, so I just tip if I've gotten an extraordinary service, knowing that the staff will get reasonable pay anyway.
In bars and clubs though, I know many people give the bartender big tips to get to order faster next time.
Lately in Sweden there have been permits of residence & asylum documents etc sold from the migration ministry though. But this was because of trojan horses; immigrant employees.
