That bill from the Friars bay Beach cafe is totally legitimate... 4% TGCA included in the price but shown separately is correct. The rate of the US$ cannot be based on the fixing, on Feb 25, 2015, it was close to 1.14 (1.369) therefor 1.20 exchange rate when you consider the French bank fee and the eventual extra charges for the business, it's about that.
