Money exchange

Please check your exchange rate, ask for a receipt, check the rate on the receipt and count your money before leaving the counter.

Yesterday a friend changed money at the exchange on road 9.. not Thomas Cook,

Basically he tried to rob her of 270le... when she pointed out that she was short and wanted a receipt he threw over 2x50.. hoping she would just presume they were 100s... when she pointed this out he threw another 100 and when she asked for the 20 he once again threw that at her and started the indignant looks and pointing..

this was a deliberate try to short change.

I don't use these shops any more if I have cash to change I use the change machines located in most banks.
