How Should I Pay for Banana in Egypt?

Another methods of swindling and fraud by fruit sellers in the streets of Cairo.

Particularly with the raising of prices. One kilo of plums cost 200 LE. and a kilogram of bananas cost 200 LE. this is the price which I found in the market of Shubra al-Kheima, we have decided to shopping with this relatively favorable rates.

After that, weighing what I wanted to buy it came time of payment.. seller shouted at me and said: “You still have to pay 130 Egyptian bounds!!”.. I told him no?.. He told me : didn’t you read the pricing?.. I say : yes I did.. he said the kilo cost 2.75 and not 200.. that means you didn’t read the pricing well !!

He put the 50 extra in a small numbering on his pricing sign :( so I was very confused is the price 200 or 250 or 275 ??? can anyone tell me what is this?!
