Apparently the charge for this drink in Chicago is not hidden. Caveat

This original post was meant to advise unsuspecting tourists that this scam
is alive and well. And there is no help from the authorities.

Wherever you are, you need to be aware. Any seemingly prosperous tourist,
not just an American, is a potential target.



Was the incident in question officially reported to anyone?
