And over $4 Aus for a measly bag of Smiths. The greedy tight arsed bastards!
Always amazed of the prices once you go through check in are way more than in the departures entrance of the airports. Then they call the stuff you can buy on the outside of the airport for half the price Duty Free. LMFAO!

We definitely need a glossary of Bodge slang.

You have to be pretty clueless to turn up without the money to pay for a visa on arrival

Why does the op assume the person was broke,probably just a english/french tight arse cunt trying to short change immigration ( good luck with that)

I once met a french dude sitting in the immigration office on the Cambo/Loas border,been sitting there for 6 hours as he refused to pay the $5 no photo charge...
