Fair exchange
Article Abstract:
Restaurant operators in Canada should stop the practice of providing only a 25% to 30% exchange rate on the US dollar, even though the bank rate is around 50%. Canadian restaurateurs are, in effect, charging American customers 20% more for their products. Restaurants that give their American clients the proper exchange on their dollar will benefit from the goodwill generated by their fair action, and will reflect their dedication to provide quality and value to all their guests.
