I got burned once again at the market. One vendor I asked for 4 hard mangoes for $1. So she gave me 4 but 2 of the mangoes were rotten. Then she tried to keep the change.
Another vendor tried to charge me $1.50 for one fruit. I said I would do only $1.00. She said "okay. " She put the fruit in the bag and threw another smaller rotten one in and told me $2. I said "no." So she took out of the bag the first fruit I wanted, larger and not rotten, putting it back on the shelf. I said "not so fast! " and she replaced the rotten one for the original one I negotiated for.
Tomorrow I am going back to the market with my own choleta (the hostal's keeper) to fight fire with fire! Hopefully I will learn some good pointers.
