I travel a ton for work and I’ve discovered the secret for getting the best service, no matter where I go. Most business travelers know to be nice to everyone, that’s a given. Although my mind is blown on every trip, people never cease to amaze.

You ready for this?

The $2 bill.

This bad boy, worth exactly the same as 2 $1 dollar bills makes people take notice. Plus it’s just hilarious to see me pull out a fat knot wrapped in a thick rubber band.

Bartenders, wait staff, door and baggage handlers, Uber drivers, the lady at Burger King, whoever, whenever. It’s awesome.

Do yourself a favor. Grab a stack of these magical bills the next time you hit the road.
