Exchange rate is around 3 RON to 1 USD. She took 300 RON and gave me change as though I gave her 100 RON, and pocketed 200 RON. So, yep, it was closer to $60-70 bucks.
A good machinst makes $500 USD per month. A Store clerk makes about $120-150 USD/month. So, she was trying to make a quick 2 weeks pay.
As I say, this is why I usually don't try to go around by myself. Calling Bull**** on someone in a foriegn country is difficult when your language skills there are not so good. Romanian, while it is a romance lanuage (latin based) it is the farthest one from Latin. There is a very large influence the slavic tongues. Yes = "da", not "Si or Oui".
