As soon as i came to the Island i kept hearing about Brits being charged extra for goods and services by cypriots.
I know one freind who regularly asks the price from a Cypriot and then gets her Cypriot husband to go and ask the price himself, far too often the price goes down for the Cypriot.
I'm starting to find this myself as well. Not all the time, but for alot of them as soon as they see my British white face the price goes up. I'm finding it difficult to understand and deal with.
I ran a business in the UK, and there if i had put the price up for people based on their race, i would have been in alot of trouble if found out.
Is there no such rules or laws about disrimination here in Cyprus? Are they really allowed to do this?
