It reminds of a time when I was on holiday in China. We were taking a bus back from the monastery in Zhongdian back to our hotel. We were told it was 1 Yuan and when we got off they charged us 2 Yuan. A couple of people in our group (I have to say they were American) got all irate at this - I pointed out that it was to us paying 16p instead of 8p so at the time it was around 24c as opposed to 12c and even then they were uppity at having to pay an extra 12c...

Difference between me and you (and the Americans in your story); they can afford to leave the state, let alone the country.
