There are a lot of places that are way more interesting to tourists than locals because of that attitude. Also, foreigners in countries that seem cheap because they can pay it (but are not for the locals) spend a lot of money to experience "the culture" while the people there can't.
And it's not tourists' fault, it's the bad attitude of the business owners, they obviously will treat better the people they know will pay better.
It's refreshing to find places where that doesn't happen.
Some of the extremes even call it "neo" Neocolonialism because the locals can't afford the same luxury as the foreigners who come to the country. Not to mention, they also buying all the lands and it shouldn't be that way. But yeah, I think I am over that phase of complaining if they treated me badly, that's on them and hope karma works the way :D
