Roman Rip Offs

I do not know whether it's Italy's Depression, but in Rome it feels like everybody wants your money for something - a stick for taking selfie photographs with, bottles of water, bus tours, being photographed with "centurions".

In some cases it seems that they are not too bothered about how they get your money.  In one restaurant, the waiter failed to charge us 30 Euros for a bottle of Prosecco that was listed on the menu at 13.  However he got us in the end.  When we asked for olives, he served up a load of thick gooey frozen pizza which we ended up donating to a homeless man in the train station.  Needless to say we had to pay for the pizza we had not ordered!  Not a big deal, but a bit of a drag to be always on your guard.
