Venezuelan stores now accepting dollars and Euros as payment. Bolivar worthless

Traki stores accept dollars and euros in cash as a form of payment
By Chronicle One Date: 03/26/2018


This week the branches began to show notices in which they accept Petro as well as foreign currency for the purchase of food, clothing and other products.

Translated from Spanish

The distortions of the economy, which are reflected in hyperinflation, lead to transactions in foreign currencies. Not only sales of real estate or vehicles are based on the dollar, in states like Táchira operations are done in pesos and dollars, and more businesses in Caracas begin to accept foreign currency as payment methods.

The chain of stores Traki has notices in the boxes in which they notify that they accept "foreign currencies like method of payment".

In recent days, the same company reported that it would accept the Petro cryptocurrency as a form of cancellation of the merchandise.

Managers of the shops consulted, who asked to keep their name in reserve, pointed out that the instruction given to the branches is that they accept euros and dollars in cash. They added that in the venues of El Recreo and Plaza Venezuela some clients have purchased the products in foreign currency.

The Petro? Laughable! It is illegal for Venezuelans to buy El Petro with Bolivars... even Maduro doesn't want to take Bolivars into his scam. And if a Venezuelan has access to the dollar or Euro... WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD THEY BUY PETROS?

The gig is up, and even Putin isn't having anything to do with this stinker.
