The equivalent to $20 is TWENTY DOLLARS.
Do you think the minimum wage desk clerk at a "high end" property has a different value system then the minimum wage desk clerk at a "low end" property?
The clerks are putting the money in their pocket, THE "COST" OF THE UPGRADE IS MEANINGLESS IN THIS TRANSACTION, because it costs the clerk NOTHING.

Yap, if by obvious reasons you mean they have better auditing and monitoring going on, then Yes you are correct. Which means you flipping out your ben franklin isn't going to work any better than a sawbuck.
The clerk isn't going to lose their job over 100 any quicker than they would for 20. And if they can do something, they will do it for 20 just as quick as for a 100.
It only means that next time, if the clerk is able to do something, she is going to remember bozo with the franklin and might try to hold out when the next guy offers twenty.
