about this issue.
I have repeatedly been short changed $10-20 on purchases here in Australia (maybe I have a pushover face), where it is obviously not an honest error. They certainly don't usually take it with a polite smile and a sorry when you point it out, in fact they usually get rather irrate, reacting as if you are accusing them of something.
I can see the issue people have, and use to think the same myself, but now simply look on it as part of being in Bali, after all Caveat Emptor.
