Most people being cheated don’t know it. Taking a little extra detour “because on construction,” or taking a drunk person home the long route — people being cheated generally don’t know it.

Stories of overcharging people are also common.

It is common to hear people talk about a "broken" credit card machine, or about a taxi "taking the long way", or the like.

Taxi drivers swindle everyone, they just have a wider array of tricks for swindling tourists.
