Very deceiving. They show one price at the stand and raise it up when at the register. Francis is the assistant store manger that did not honor the posted price. Even after they are made aware of the issue no action had been taken. They continued to deceive the cliente.
One more issue a see with Duty Free. I feel like back in the days when Duty Frees started to pop up it was way cheaper to buy at these locations than a regular store or even online.

The employee who was going to cash me out informed me that they could not deliver my item to my gate because they did not have enough time. My boarding time was 20-25 minutes away, and my gate was literally almost directly across the store (picture attached). She looked at me like I was crazy when I told her that the duty free store in my own country would be closed by the time I reached there. I was very...
