Americans Beware!
This is actually about the Ladybug Coffee and Ice Cream stand attached to Mojo's. We were there this week and waiting for the ferry. This was our first stop since crossing the border, and so we didn't yet have any Canadian currency. We asked the lady there if it was ok to pay in American dollars, and she said sure. She said she was a new owner and wasn't set up to take cards yet, so everything had to be cash. Our bill came to $16 Canadian. We paid with a $20 USD bill. She gave us $4 Canadian back. I asked about the exchange rate and she repeated that she was a new owner and the bank charged her more to deposit American dollars. With that she disappeared to the back of the building never to be seen again. At the current exchange rate, our bill worked out to $12.32 USD. The ice cream was tasty, but buyer beware. read more
