And in the big touristy cities in Europe, there's so many scam currency exchanges, while if you just take the time to go to official government exchanges, you get reasonable exchange rates. The problem isn't the locals, the problem is that you didn't do the research and you did a dum-dum. (Also fuck the people who are scamming tourists, that's just low.)
I realised this when I took money out of a cash machine in Tenerife.
It shows you an exchange rate and a prompt to accept. If you press yes, you get scammed with a crap rate. It's not really clear that if you press no you still get money but at your bank exchange rate which is almost certainly better than a scummy airport ATM.
I guess it's nice that you get scammed right out of the gate, because at least it puts you on guard for the rest of your holiday. Fuck that whole island tbh.
Always check currency in the country you are traveling to, always check approx exchange rate. These are literally just two searches and you are never gonna get exchange scammed (if you use an exchange and not change on the street from random people and get fake or valueless cash).
