This is a good point the SM malls have their own SM money changing desks and these offer poor rates compared to the family businesses, I guess if these are Robinsons brand shops they might not be so good either

The banks offer poor rates as well but the small family shops are usually good just check the rate and check the money you are given.

They will always give you a little chit with the conversion details on it, I've gotten good at doing the conversion in my head and counting as they count so I don't spend much time before the cash is in my pocket and I'm well away from there.

Always try to check the internet for the days rate, I use this one just now http://www.forexcult.com/charts.php?q=GBPPHP
