My understanding is that he was ripping off tourists who did not understand the value of US money and thought they were paying the same market price as the other customers.

It is like me going to Japan and trusting the Squid vendor to charge me the same number of Yen as the native guy who ordered ahead of me.

He is a con artist.

Yes. Mostly people who can’t speak English and have no idea about the value of a twenty.

Exactamundo. This case is a bit like the $6 a gallon gas station scam by the Orlando airport. Ripping off tourists is not “capitalism”. It’s thievery and bad for a the image of a city.
