"When I was in Turkey, the bank exchanged my US dollars for the same rate as the euro. I noticed it and returned but they said that everything was correct. I stood there for a while and left the extra money together with the receipt and left. Several seconds later, one of their employees caught up with me and thanked me for it. The good thing is that the difference wasn’t that big."

it helps to see the world and get out of your homogeneous echo chamber.
keep up that negativity!
