Have you seen our economy lately?My sister and brother-in-law are currently vacationing in Chile. She told on the phone last night that earlier that day they had lunch at a cafe, they tried to pay with US dollars, and the waitress laughed saying that a year ago she would've taken it, but they had to pay with Chilean pesos. That's pretty sad....
Do you see any version of the money being acceptable? Personally, I've always been confused by an establishment taking foreign money as means of payment. I don't see a bloody mary OR a cup of coffee being worth the hassles of trading that currency. But, I have to trade my left over paper money for the currency that might not be worth a ****ing thing. At the end of the day, all I need is the bill. Maybe that eans 1 milions pecoes or 15 dollars. What they do with it after I've paid is of no concern, right?
