My wife hired a Dominican Electriction to do some work on our house, He worked on and off for about a week.( My wife is Dominican )When he was finished he asked her for 2000 Pesos.
She ended up paying him RD.$1500 after some haggling.
I asked this Electriction to come with me to my office as I had a light switch for him to change, 20 minutes latter when he was through he presented me with a bill of RD.$1400.
I told him to deal with my wife tomorrow as she doe's the Company books.
After many years here I still get the same Gringo price specials, It used to bother me but now I just tell them it willl be a snowy day in Paradise before you get that out of me!
Also If I enter a store and the price's are not clearly marked, I will just turn around and walk out before they have the chance to offer me the Gringo Special.
