Dollars/Pesos and Fishing

Well maybe a comfortably retired BIG SPENDER like you doesn't mind locals ripping you off by charging in U.S. dollars, but is quite INSULTING to Mexicans and non-U.S. citizens. I can only imagine the insults and criticisms that would be written in the comments section of a local U.S. public forum if most hotels and services charged in a foreign currency that discriminated against locals.

Not sure how comfortably retired I am and I'm certainly no BIG SPENDER, but my (perhaps naïve) assumption is that some prices/rates are posted in US dollars for the convenience of potential foreign - i.e. Gringo - customers. If I were looking for a hotel room in Zihua, comparing prices in dollars is certainly a lot easier than potentially having to convert each Peso price to dollars. As to the cost of my fishing trips: I'm not getting ripped off; it's cost me the same dollar amount for several years and I don't mind the Arciniegas making a bit more during the short Gringo tourist season, since they have 2 families to feed.
