An English woman who worked as a server in Paris discusses the ways that tourists might be charged more in restaurants and cafes, and how to avoid the charges. Interesting comments, too. No gift link at the Guardian–just click past the donation nags.

No different than the “White Person Tax” at many Chinese restaurants.
And similar upcharges in other countries, as the comments describe, and at different times of year. I was in Telluride, Colorado just before their jazz festival, and on our last day the menu prices increased quite a bit. I asked, and they said “festival prices”.
