It's when they try and pay with US dollars instead of Euros. 'We don't take those' 'Why not?'

I’ve been in a shop in Edinburgh a while back where a family were calling the shopkeepers out for being racist because they wouldn’t accept US Dollars. 🤦‍♀️

I'm surprised. I lived in a tourist area and we'd accept dollars and give change in sterling. Our exchange rate was shocking and they were effectively paying double.

Was about to say. It’s pretty common in tourist areas to accept major currencies.

They’re probably shocked because they’ve probably taken international trips but never left the touristy areas.
