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.

How could I forget the world revolves around the USA? What could Mexicans and Canadians possibly be thinking expecting to be charged in pesos in MEXICO of all places?

Yes, OF COURSE you're getting ripped off if you aren't getting more purchasing power for your dollar versus the pesos. But, some smart feller once commented about fools and their money being easily parted.
