I don't think we have to go that far south to see these things happening. Here in Amsterdam the other day went to pick up the car from the garage I was amazed when the guy told me that I had to fork out 700 EUR cash only.

In Brazil this practice is also pretty common.

The more untrustworthy/incompetent/reckless the government is handling taxpayers' money, the more often one sees this kind of behaviour.
