Hell, I am in there once or twice a week, usually just as a way station. I have never ever tried to hit on them and won't. I am not interested and I am not distracted. My strategy when I do go to hunt is to interview several girls until I find the right one for the experience and then get her the hell out of there and get drinks and fun at my favorite hangout, which is El Cuartel on Monday night. With the right girl, it is a blast each and every time!

If anything. If ever in doubt why not use a CC? Cash is non traceable. However some shady ass bar in CR will probably not be able to pull up near half the required receipts to do well with a major CC and will be reversed.

Have only done it once. With an airline that I actually flew on ( much against my terms) and they happily refunded the whole thing because there was no paperwork of notice of change or whatever.

I don't work in CC or banking. But I feel like the guidelines are set highly in the consumer favor. So any shady stuff should be easily absorbed. I always grab receipts for anything big whether cash or credit, and anything out of the ordinary. Anything small I have no issues just disputing it

And the old scam at the Del Rey seems to have reached epic proportions lately in terms of trying to cheat you on each and every single drink. Fortunately I don't go in there that often, don't have to, don't want to, but sometimes it's necessary. Or it is simply a way station to have a drink while waiting, texting or going somewhere else. I don't think I am going to use it this way anymore because those muchachas have taken it to new levels in terms of the ways and the techniques they use trying to cheat you when you are paying cash in colones. They tell you you had two drinks when you had one. They tell you the cost of something verbally, for example she quoted me a price for Red Bull of six dollars and then you have to press them really hard to get the check and it is $4.50 and she had the nerve to slam the paper and the change down on the bar and them stomp off after she was busted.
