No shit man. If you have been to any tourist trap ever you know you are getting scammed. Never eat/drink or buy anything directly around the tourist areas.
Just go a half mile away and everything has better prices and service. This is true even in the USA.

>Foreign tourists in Paris are being charged as much as 50 per cent more than French customers, an undercover investigation has found.
The city's leading newspaper, Le Parisien, found that several tourists from outside of France had been posting complaints online about being overcharged.
So they sent out a Parisian the Champ-de-Mars near the Eiffel Tower.
They also dressed up one of their reporters as an American tourist and directed them to the same cafe to reveal exactly what was happening at the holidaymaker hotspots.
But what they stumbled across was shocking.
