Gringo Pricing
On a recent drive I stopped at a small store, to buy a bottle of soda.
The person in front of me was buying the very same thing.
But when it came to me paying for it that was a very different thing, even though the label on the bottle said $1.00 and the person in front of me paid $1.00.
I was told that the cost was $2.00, so I said that I only am buying one bottle, the response was $2.00.
What looked like the son of the owner just sold another bottle of the same to a local at the price marked on the bottle, with that I gave the bottle to the owner and said, you know how to treat your customers, and left.
