The secret lies in the margin between Commercial rate and tourist rate.This margin allows certain outlets to not charge commission as they have enough profit in the margin. What you are normally getting is more or less tourist rate. HTH.

To emphasise the point if someone were say purchasing a property in euros, they would be crazy to use the same outlets that they use for their holiday spending money.
