The Beggar's Exchange Rate

When someone doesn't follow the international exchange rate and takes you for a ride. Usually common among people who have no money.

So I was in Montreal for the weekend, and I couldn't find a Bureau de Change anywhere. The only person I could find was this complete mess of a man looking in trashcans for lunch.

I asked him "can you make change?" and I showed him a fifty dollar bill U.S..

I got back five dollars Canadian.

I was given The Beggar's Exchange Rate.

Beer Beggar

Someone who thinks that just because you brought beer to a social outing that is an opportunity to come over and drink beer for free. Usually not from your geographic area. They will usually introduce themselves and then immediately ask for a complimentary beverage. After this they quickly excuse themselves and rejoin their own friends. They repeat this process over and over again approaching a different friend of yours each time, until your beer supply is exhausted.

Hey man what's up? My name Jc and I'm from South Congress, got a beer I can have? I'm not a beer beggar, I will get you back as soon as I get a car and some money!
