They started doubling my prices (yes, masks are mandatory, but they don't tell you) and they cost 1€ or 1$ but you can't give them the same amount at their exchange rate. From there, they started to get weird because I was accusing them of trying to rip me off, they started calling me "Italian mafia" but at that point I decided to impersonate a mafioso and everything went back to normal”
