It is sad, isn't it, that this is so common place in some Muslim countries and among Muslims themselves.

Interest, bribes...

There are other common practices like... inflating the price goods when tourists/non-locals are around, or having a price for tourists and a price for locals. I don't know if this is a sin but to me this is unethical.

What about 'tips'? To me tipping is also unethical. If there is a fair price for a service, it should be clearly stated - end of story. The real price of a service (many include serving goods) now is not simply a figure, it is figure + tax + tip (+shipping and handling)
