I changed before at Changi the loss or spread is around 3% still can tolerate.
In this case 20% loss.

Hefty because he lost 20% usually money changer only charge 1-2%. That money changer was charging 10x.

Why argue hefty or not hefy. Hefty for some.not others...
Hefty from the point of view of 20% charged....if bank charge you 20% to write a cheque...not hefty?
Anyway the exact amount of loss quantity is put in the posting so any one reading can see it...hefty or not hefty no point arguing.
