katex,I couldn't believe it myself, I had to recheck that what looks like a small difference could make such a big difference and my maths is rusty.
But they offered you 0.98, you expected 1.14. That's 0.16 euros less for every pound x£506=£80.96. That's the extra they charged you for 500 euros more than you would pay at the Post Office-they'd have given you 577 euros for £506.
You ARE vunerable at the airport- they know they've got you. Unless you're using company expenses or caught out no-one uses them-I bet you weren't in a queue.
