Hi everyone
I just wanna ask about the practise which can be seen in all clubs in Gran Canaria - I am a young girl - if I go with my spanish friends, or someone who knows their language - I get almost 60% lower prices on everythin... Once I go alone or with someone who speaks english - so barmans can see we are not spaniards - the prices go suddenly UP - because they see we are tourists... for example vodka and juice 9€ if we are english (or even 10€ if I ask another barman - as they have obviously no real pricing )... the same thing 4€ for a spanish girl... and If I say somethin to barman that I am not a tourist and live here, he says: "sorry, I didnt know you live here"...
yet, you never get any receipt, you never get any pricing list to take a look what is for how much... then they pretend they dont understand or they wont talk to you..
Excuse me, but its allowed for barmans / waiters or waitresses to set prices as they want? Is this legal - ?? I traveled across the world and you get receipt for everythin everywhere these days... except here...
What are those differences for tourists and for locals about? this is not Taxi damn..!
can you tell me what is allowed for them by government etc? Its absolutely ridiculous...
