Will vendors in America still accept my tip even after paying them? - Lemmy.World

Even before getting to the main point, brining that money into USA as a traveler / visitor will be a hurdle as a threshold exceeding $10,000 must be declared upon entry. Will they even allow the entire 5000 OMR stack in or would that be confiscated even when declared? Like this: after paying for the food in $, suddenly giving them more money but with a catch: I’m only a visitor (as I only have Omani Rial in cash for the most part) being like, “Here is 5000 OMR ($13,020) for your efforts” so despite that being a lot of money, will they take it?
