This cropped up the other night.....
Nice meal, Nice restaurant, party of 4.
(All restaurants will gladly accept Euros).
The bill comes to 63YTL
The bill is paid in Euros and the change is given in YTL
Busy restaurant so waiter says farewell to guests and dances off to another table.
When the party worked out their change later that evening, the exchange rate for the YTL given in return was some 20 percent below normal Euro market rates.
Its common practise so heed this warning. If you pay in Euros demand your change in Euros too.
They wont be offended.
Merv!
