    Prices are more than the same chain outside the hotel zone.

    I think they charge what they can get away with at that particular branch because people dont know a ballpark price. However, please note the price is actually stamped on the box. Often it's difficult to see/read but it is there and that is the maximum price they can charge.

    Below is an example it says $116.00 Pesos, I think :)

    At Halloween it was fine.
    There is a crossing light directly outfront and it does work.

    Seriously no issues as they stop at the red light before the walk crossing zone.
    You just need to have a little patience and wait for the light to change.

    Yeah we did it its not much different than any big city. Of course I have to wonder about some of the breaks on the semi's and busses. Heard some interesting noises coming from them.

    Hey if she were walking to/from the pharmacy in her tape outfit the traffic would come to a screeching halt and then everyone could cross;)

    As for crossing the road, if you're crossing where a red light is then traffic must stop for the light.

    However, there is another crossing a little way up towards the convenience store, it's just painted lines on the road with no light. Traffic does not have to stop there, it's kind of a 'suggestion'.

    Since it is dual carriageway, beware of the vehicle in the closest lane stopping and possibly obscuring the view of a vehicle in the second land that may or, most likely, may not stop.

    I don't stop at those myself because since so many others don't, there would be a serious risk of being rear ended if I did.

    Canadian friend, here. :)
    Good point about convenience. If it's only a little more expensive, I'd rather just cross the street. Pictures of pricing would be helpful. I plan to take some when I shop to post when I get home.
