You lost me there!  Don't your three phrases contradict each other?

So, either it's a con or stealing.  Ok.  And this case seems like 
slipping a 20 to get a good table.  (Hmm.  Do you do this?  Have you 
done this?)  Oh, nevermind!  la la la...

Or, as a counter party to the title of the thread...  I despise 
capitalism and the fact that you have to pay extra to someone to get 
them to do their job or to get a good table...  But it still seems at 
least a little subtle in that in neither case does the person say that 
you -have- to pay to get the service - they (at least here) don't even 
suggest it...  Hmm...  That just makes it all the more dishonest.  Hmm.  
No, dishonestly dishonest.  So, is that better than being honestly 
dishonest.  Honestly, I just don't know...
