Bottakuri (ぼったくり - RIp-Off)

Bottakuri

I am in Italy now.

Unfortunately, today I experienced 'bottakuri' (ぼったくり) at a pizza store.

'Bottakuri' means to be requested an exorbitant fee.

I ordered one kebab of four euros.

After placing the money on a tray, it was picked up by the store owner.

In addition, when the kebab was made, he further claimed four euros.

I complained several times that I had already paid for the kebab, but he did not get my message.

Probably, the first four euros on which I placed was regarded as a payment for a pizza of another person (In fact, another person ordered and received a piece of pizza, and it seemed that he did not pay money).

Eventually, I paid eight euros in total -- it was very frustrating.

ぼったくり

私は今、イタリアにいます。

そして、あるピザ屋さんで「ぼったくり」にあってしまいました。

「ぼったくり」とは、法外な料金を要求することを意味する日本語です。

私は4ユーロのケバブを一つ注文しました。

注文後すぐにお金をレジに置いたら、お金は回収されました。

そしてケバブが完成したとき、さらに4ユーロを請求されました。

私はもう既に払っただろうと何度か訴えましたが、店主は聞く耳を持ってくれませんでした。

恐らくですが、私が最初に置いたお金は、別の人のピザ代として計上されたのかもしれません（別の人がピザを一切れ頼んでいて、彼はお金を払っていないように見えた）。

結局合計8ユーロ支払うことになってしまって、悔しいです。

I'm surprised that they didn't have any way of keeping track how much you paid. The store I work at usually gives people another sandwich for free if they didn't like the one they got even if they don't have a receipt to prove it. That store owner is pretty bad at customer service or his business is tanking hard if four euros is going to break his bank xD
