AVOID BUYING FROM THIS STORE! and other Barcelona, Spain Warning Or Danger Tips

If there is any souvenir store located on LAS RAMBLAS you must avoid this Souvenirs Cristy No.38. In several occasions he, the owner actually shortchanged my friends by nearly ten euros, till last week, we first passed by the police and explained to them what we had last week and our experienced. So, two of the police stayed out of their sight, without the owner knowing that police where just around the corner, so, my friend bought a prepaid telephone card which cost 6Euros, my friend handed the owner a 20Euro bill and the owner swiftly swings a 10Euro bill (picking it up from his cashier machine) making us believe that he only received 10Euros, and he insisted that there was no 20 Euros handed to him. So, because our friends could not defend themselves in Spanish this Pakistan keep screaming at us, cursing us out of the store giving us only 4 Euros changed. So, came the two police man and we got back 14Euros change, left this Souvenir store and will never return to this "Theif". We strongly advise to do your shopping elsewhere as we don´t like you to experience and upset your whole day with this Cristy souvenir store. Tourists enjoys bringing back home a bit or a touch of Barcelona t-shirts, or some nick-naks, but not to the point of getting cheated...like we did.
This souvenirs Cristy store is located on Ramblas corner Plaça de Teatre. Right infront or across this store is the internet shop called "Easyeverything and next to the internet shop is Subway Store.
It´s bad enough that we warn everyone tourists and everyone how rampant the pickpocketing is all over Barcelona City, but contrary to that it´s quite pathetic as Barcelona happens to be so beautiful with rich culture.

After so much hazzle reporting to a Spanish Authority -finding a translator (who is standing next to me on this photo) how it all happened so quickly. I ended up spending more than my budget, a New U.S. Passport here in Barcelona cost 96.00 U.S. AMERICAN DOLLARS.
Guard your U.S. Passports, Your Valuables! Your Airline Tickets, Your Train Tickets...pickpocketers are so rampant and so fast hardly felt anything move next to me when my passport was stolen.
