They say no its 140 J's its only 75 when convert it back then they show me on the calculator but can't explain it to me it happened more then once on my last trip. No names but the sea was windy monday.
The next time you encounter that situation, ask them for the exchange rate that they use. If you have your cellphone - use the calculator feature on it or ask them to use their calculator if you dont have a cell phone. Then apply the exchange rate that they offer - and pay accordingly. If It does sound like if they "cant explain it" - then they may indeed be applying the calculation wrong. In otherwords - it may be a simple mistake.

I have received incorrect bills every now and then, and if I feel like it is anything to be worried about, then I do the calculations myself. If the bill is wrong, I simply show them the results and always end up paying the correct amount. But to be honest - in the situaiton described above with the coffee - I wouldnt think twice about paying either $120j or $140j cause I would probably give them $150j and say keep the change... at most we are talking about an error of twenty cents in us$....
