Again! How do they accept it so easily? Thank you and pocket it and turn away. And then the kids.. hey a thousand bucks! hey mang, can you give my primo another 1000? What's a thousand in pesos? ok 58.00 but still.. thats a free 50 dollars.
Pesos used to be about 1/10 very roughly. If you were a tourist that was kind of a "special rate" that, well, sucked but was easy to understand. Unfortunately shit isn't 1/10 the price.
More like 1/2 to full fuck you price for the exact same goods as the US. However on goods where you can get the Mexican special version, either because of protectionism like farm tariffs or drug monopolies or it's just lower quality you see the real savings.
I remember being shocked at the grocery store how much of good food ingredients you could buy. But at the same time luxury shit can be more expensive if they've applied a big duty. It's not like say the Caribbean where people go to buy internationally available products with low taxes.

Dude's got to own the local liquor store and knows he's getting 90% of that back.
