There are advantages and disadvantages to being a foreigner in India. The same applies for local Indians too. It's a good topic for a video with Manisha actually. She's considered an Indian when she's alone, and seen as a foreigner when she's with me.
Why are they charging more ? Because they CAN and SHOULD. These people make a way below minimum wage (vs 1st world Nations). The products and services they sell are dramatically cheaper than what "we" are used to paying in our home countries, even at inflated prices. If you can afford to travel there as a tourist or even student or employee, you can afford to pay the inflated tourist prices.
@@nativeeuropean1910 you mean "their" in the second half of your comment. "Their" is when you're talking about something that is related to someone.

No he don't bro . In this he humiliated us. There is always two prices in almost every country . One for citizens and other for foreigners. For example visit jantar mantar there is two prices .
@@brandonandreas4659 No bro , it's only few European countries where it doesn't happen . This because international tourism is not their main source of income and second they are very rich country and their prices are already very expensive .

Grey Code I know. Look at my initial post. I was making a joke. I wasn’t calling for this practice to be literally reparations for colonialism. The real reason for charging more for foreigners is complicated. It probably has to do with overpopulation that creates a culture of exploitation.

If a local makes a few rupee more then so what it's still cheap to me .

@@KarlRock These days you also have to watch out for an electronic switch button on autorickshaws and cabs in Mumbai near the steering. It boosts the meter to run faster so you end up paying around 30% more on the meter. These guys are always one up on the customer. Best to Uber or Ola. It's a little premium to pay but fairly cheap to get around.
You've gotta keep some of your Kiwi perspective thou brother.. i know i did when travelling India, 50 rupees is 1 Australian dollar, so i never really felt bad for payin' an extra 50c-dollar for somethings, especially when you can prob see they're going home to feed a family of 6 with it! Most foreigners dont realize India runs on bargaining, so you either play the game or just accept it.. that said speaking Hindi definitely helps thou.
Yup, I know what you're saying Bro. I live here, so for me this is a daily thing. For tourists it's just 2 weeks. This pricing also applies to Indians who are from different states, so it helps them remember to bargain too.
Prashanth Kamath Depends on what the second price is. They do it in China, the motorcycle taxi guys usually charge about the same as a regular didi/Uber, and private drivers charge 2/3 more for foreigners. But they have to feed their families with that so I don’t mind. What I do mind is one private driver demanding three times the regular Uber/Didi rate and twice the metered street taxi rate for a ten minute trip.
My dream is to travel to different countries. I turned 18 not too long ago so I don’t have the money now but these videos help a little. If I ever go to India for some reason I’ll probably buy your book. Keep up with the amazing content and busting these unfair bargainers/scammers!

Hey Karl, This happens to Indians from south who visits northern cities too. The moment they realize we are from south(madrasas), they'll charge more. This is especially when you go shop in local market. But they're better off from corporates and banks who rip off so much money from middle class. We rather pay more to the people who are in need than the big rip offs.

So I guess its not only India but its everywhere!
Yea in developing nations that is the situation. The sellers assume the foreigners come from a nation where the currency is much stronger making most prices irrelevant to them. Which from an objective view is true almost all the time.

The disgusting human being here, is this white man. He is demeaning poor people for trying to make their living. While he makes money from videoing them. The supporters here are fooled. This man is no better than the scammers he is exposing. He is making money of THEM. He is the biggest scammer. He was banned for good reason. He is a creep.
Honestly, it just seems like the norm in just about every country I've been to. There's always a foreign mark up and, tbh, fair enough. It's just part of traveling. As long as the markup isnt insane, it alright with me 🤷♂️
when news came out of a similar scam going on in Greece in the mid-90s, it made the front page news. The scam was happening in a number of restaurants, with waiters placing an 'X' on the order form from a tourist, X standing for 'xeno' meaning foreigner. This would result in a higher price being charged. It was considered illegal and quite scandalous that tourists would be ripped off when tourism is their biggest industry. They stamped it out straight away.
Why are they charging more ? Because they CAN and SHOULD. These people make a way below minimum wage (vs 1st world Nations). The products and services they sell are dramatically cheaper than what "we" are used to paying in our home countries, even at inflated prices. If you can afford to travel there as a tourist or even student or employee, you can afford to pay the inflated tourist prices.
Paying them more will mostly hurt locals by encouraging vendors chase tourists instead of serving everyone and raising prices for everyone, including locals.
When we were in India they where asking about 5000 rupees (~70 USD) for such an box. I was surprised that they only tried to overcharge you about 30-50%.
Karl : why do you charge more money from foreigners..... Auto drivers : Because, you guys charge everything to leave our country..... So, you have to pay it back😂😂😂
In India we do not have tip culture, so charging a bit higher price to the people who can very well afford it, is fine and that is also practiced in the US-the western countries by not having MRP system
@@sooramk9569 In Malayalam "peeranki" is cannon. Meanwhile "paranki" is foreigner/Portuguese. I didn't realize that the two words were connected. Interesting. Firangi comes from the word Franc (French/Frankish), which was then used for all Europeans by the Persians.
They do the same thing in Thailand. Some places are free for locals to visit but foreigners have to pay. Taxi drivers are required by law to use a meter but sometimes if they see you’re a foreigner they will try to haggle with you over the fare starting at a price that’s 4 times higher than it should be.
This dude upset that he's being charged £1 for a taxi ride instead of 50p. The hustle is real. *Price discrimination* is a real system that works. People see the word discrimination and think it's bad, but it also refers to elderly people getting cheaper prices, students getting student discounts, the fact things are cheaper if you buy in bulk, AND that certain things are cheaper for locals than tourists who have invested in travelling to the location. Students get cheaper prices because they have less money. Perfect sales would be that the price is different for every single person, being the maximum that each person would be happy/willing to pay. I know we still feel "unfair" that this is not the same price as a local would get. But since locals are considerably poorer than Westerners travelling to India for fun, they would not buy anything if they had to pay this much. Even my own city, Bath in England, we have a huge tourist destination called the Roman Baths. In very good condition from 2000 years ago. It's free for me because I live here. I can go as many times as I want since it's my city. It's about £20 for a tourist though. This is the same all over the planet. Locals will always do better and it works out for the best. It's just economics.
JamesTavRule, it’s called taxes. As a local, you’ve already paid your portion in taxes, which have been used to subsidize the Roman Baths. It’s logical and normal that tourist would pay more for the stuff that locals have already paid for in taxes.

@@rikishi555 first of all stop calling south Indians black coal I have immense respect for them and secondary you need to educate yourself. I live here and majority of the people are not fair...ok now stfu and ya I'm not black .
Simply educate yourself coz I live here in Jammu and Kashmir and I'm saying all are not fair then who are you to say all are fair.... that's simply false information.

He's too cute😂
His hindi is on🔥✨
When Karl adds "na" in end of every sentence, it sounds like a innocent person talking in a cute way!
Yup
Not only to foreigners they charged more but also to their own countrymen especially from northeast people of india like me...
👍👍👍
True....
Never knew that.
That's sad
The shope keepers increase the price if they know they weren't locals (even within the same state).
Bro one autowala charged me more in my own city. It's not about discrimination.
Come to Bombay. The auto's always run on meter here!
But they take me the long route to increase the fare :(
Mumbai*
@@user-rb7sk2em6g Bombay sounds better
@@user-rb7sk2em6g Bombay is the best
@@KarlRock These days you also have to watch out for an electronic switch button on autorickshaws and cabs in Mumbai near the steering. It boosts the meter to run faster so you end up paying around 30% more on the meter. These guys are always one up on the customer. Best to Uber or Ola. It's a little premium to pay but fairly cheap to get around.
You've gotta keep some of your Kiwi perspective thou brother.. i know i did when travelling India, 50 rupees is 1 Australian dollar, so i never really felt bad for payin' an extra 50c-dollar for somethings, especially when you can prob see they're going home to feed a family of 6 with it! Most foreigners dont realize India runs on bargaining, so you either play the game or just accept it.. that said speaking Hindi definitely helps thou.
Yup, I know what you're saying Bro. I live here, so for me this is a daily thing. For tourists it's just 2 weeks. This pricing also applies to Indians who are from different states, so it helps them remember to bargain too.
*He lives in India most of the time ... My state haryana is like a second home to him*
@chrismacsims It is outright immoral to charge a higher price.
Prashanth Kamath Depends on what the second price is. They do it in China, the motorcycle taxi guys usually charge about the same as a regular didi/Uber, and private drivers charge 2/3 more for foreigners. But they have to feed their families with that so I don’t mind. What I do mind is one private driver demanding three times the regular Uber/Didi rate and twice the metered street taxi rate for a ten minute trip.
Exactly my thinking. Giving them a hard time for 50c? First and last video from your channel. Interesting tho, can't knock the hustle lol
They say to you they charge 10-20 more, but in reality, 50 for a native vs 100 for a foreigner, is double.
Thank you for showing this.
All these are “Thugs of Hindustan “🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
My dream is to travel to different countries. I turned 18 not too long ago so I don’t have the money now but these videos help a little. If I ever go to India for some reason I’ll probably buy your book. Keep up with the amazing content and busting these unfair bargainers/scammers!
Never visit India please..... It's the land of scammers, cheats, shameless stingy ugly people, heartless corrupt police who are no less than villains or thieves etc etc etc
dude i earn more in a week washing dishes in europe then my indian GF does in a month in a middle class job in India .
You are getting the wrong impression from these videos , these guys aint scamming or being unfair , they are just earning a living .
Would you work for less in a job or work for the place next door that pays double ?
Of course you try to get the most money for your labour .
India, europe , US .. same same for all workers .
respect their hustle bro .

Good job exposing those to other tourists
Hey Karl, This happens to Indians from south who visits northern cities too. The moment they realize we are from south(madrasas), they'll charge more. This is especially when you go shop in local market. But they're better off from corporates and banks who rip off so much money from middle class. We rather pay more to the people who are in need than the big rip offs.
Petty Corruption Vs. Grand Corruption! Well said!

Lol
I m an indian too... From the north east state manipur, imphal... Really like ur video how u expose them... Keep it up bro👍👍

I’m Indian and I lived in Russia for 6 years and we faced the same issue. My mom came to Russia for my graduation and she was trying to buy something from the vendor but he gave some shit expensive price but luckily i was there to talk the vendor in their own language she dropped price from 600p to 30 rubles. So I guess its not only India but its everywhere!
Basically in every third world country.
Yea in developing nations that is the situation. The sellers assume the foreigners come from a nation where the currency is much stronger making most prices irrelevant to them. Which from an objective view is true almost all the time.
@@taniamejia5359 lol what?
did you guys ask WHY he was banned? He was doing illegal things and conducting business on tourist visas. he is a worm. this guy went to India to demean extremely poor people. There are scams far worse than what he put on his videos, going on in the world and by far worse people....these people did not deserve their poverty and shame laid out on the internet like this. The disgusting human being here, is this white man. He is demeaning poor people for trying to make their living. While he makes money from videoing them. The supporters here are fooled. This man is no better than the scammers he is exposing. He is making money of THEM. He is the biggest scammer. He was banned for good reason. He is a creep.
Honestly, it just seems like the norm in just about every country I've been to. There's always a foreign mark up and, tbh, fair enough. It's just part of traveling. As long as the markup isnt insane, it alright with me 🤷♂️
Indeed. Tourist have the lolly to spend. As longs as it’s not blatant robbery it’s fine.
agreed. are we really going to get bent out of shape over a few bucks? the more important question is: is the ride safe?

when news came out of a similar scam going on in Greece in the mid-90s, it made the front page news. The scam was happening in a number of restaurants, with waiters placing an 'X' on the order form from a tourist, X standing for 'xeno' meaning foreigner. This would result in a higher price being charged. It was considered illegal and quite scandalous that tourists would be ripped off when tourism is their biggest industry. They stamped it out straight away.
Vendor : How many pieces?
Rock : Only one piece man, I only have one girlfriend. How many you have?
I bet you liked it when the seller said you are speaking pure Hindi Karl? 😀
Best compliment ever. She charmed me 😍
Why are they charging more ? Because they CAN and SHOULD. These people make a way below minimum wage (vs 1st world Nations). The products and services they sell are dramatically cheaper than what "we" are used to paying in our home countries, even at inflated prices. If you can afford to travel there as a tourist or even student or employee, you can afford to pay the inflated tourist prices.
Paying them more will mostly hurt locals by encouraging vendors chase tourists instead of serving everyone and raising prices for everyone, including locals.
You sound so cute when you talk in Hindi.
It’s not just foreigners, It happens with Indian tourists traveling to other parts of country too. E.g North Indian traveling to south and vice versa
The Indian rickshaw drivers were surprised when you started speaking Hindi
Your hindi is so cute. Even though it's cute, it's making them feel ashamed of what they are doing.
When we were in India they where asking about 5000 rupees (~70 USD) for such an box. I was surprised that they only tried to overcharge you about 30-50%.
Karl : why do you charge more money from foreigners.....
Auto drivers : Because, you guys charge everything to leave our country.....
So, you have to pay it back😂😂😂
If you notice, double pricing starts from the airport cab.

Karl Go Back to NZ and ask them why they pay so little for indian produced goods? When New Zealand has minimum wage of $17.70 per hour.
Because the cost of living is very high.
5pecular i see
Because those goods are produced in India where the the average person in india is only paid $1 NZ per hour.
We are our own enemies

One suggestion: Always check the price on UBER or OLA if you go to a place and you don't know about the price of Auto / rickshaw of that place

Sadly this difference in price for foreigners happens in many other countries. Great video tho
In India we do not have tip culture, so charging a bit higher price to the people who can very well afford it, is fine
and that is also practiced in the US-the western countries by not having MRP system

Fun fact that firangi means canon I'm confused 😂
@@sooramk9569 In Malayalam "peeranki" is cannon. Meanwhile "paranki" is foreigner/Portuguese. I didn't realize that the two words were connected. Interesting.
Firangi comes from the word Franc (French/Frankish), which was then used for all Europeans by the Persians.
@@rexsceleratorum1632 the firangi reference actually is linked as canon or warfare used by English men
@@sooramk9569 In Kerala's case, paranki was never used for the British in my knowledge. The word was synonymous with the Portuguese.
Rates are not high for only tourist. They ask for high prices even from locals.
7:28...🤣😂😂 How many girlfriend that guy 1500..🤣🤣
They do the same thing in Thailand. Some places are free for locals to visit but foreigners have to pay. Taxi drivers are required by law to use a meter but sometimes if they see you’re a foreigner they will try to haggle with you over the fare starting at a price that’s 4 times higher than it should be.
This dude upset that he's being charged £1 for a taxi ride instead of 50p. The hustle is real.
*Price discrimination* is a real system that works. People see the word discrimination and think it's bad, but it also refers to elderly people getting cheaper prices, students getting student discounts, the fact things are cheaper if you buy in bulk, AND that certain things are cheaper for locals than tourists who have invested in travelling to the location.
Students get cheaper prices because they have less money. Perfect sales would be that the price is different for every single person, being the maximum that each person would be happy/willing to pay.
I know we still feel "unfair" that this is not the same price as a local would get. But since locals are considerably poorer than Westerners travelling to India for fun, they would not buy anything if they had to pay this much. Even my own city, Bath in England, we have a huge tourist destination called the Roman Baths. In very good condition from 2000 years ago. It's free for me because I live here. I can go as many times as I want since it's my city. It's about £20 for a tourist though. This is the same all over the planet. Locals will always do better and it works out for the best.
It's just economics.
JamesTavRule, it’s called taxes. As a local, you’ve already paid your portion in taxes, which have been used to subsidize the Roman Baths. It’s logical and normal that tourist would pay more for the stuff that locals have already paid for in taxes.
"Some people say I'm Pewdiepie on crack" damn now I wonder how Karl feels after reading those comments so often.
