Muscari Says He Was Charged 90,000 Pesos to Have Jamón Sliced in Recoleta

Questioning opaque labor and vacuum‑packing fees, Muscari posted an Instagram complaint that has not been verified by the shop.

Overview

  • Muscari posted an Instagram video Tuesday saying he was charged 90,000 pesos to have a one‑kilogram piece of jamón crudo partly sliced and partly vacuum‑packed.
  • He says he brought the meat himself and that staff told him the fee covered labor and vacuum packing, and that 100 grams of the product was priced at about 8,000–14,000 pesos.
  • Muscari declined to name the specific fiambrería in Recoleta and admitted he made a mistake by not asking the price before the service.
  • The post quickly drew many comments and was picked up by national outlets, with reactions split between sympathy for high prices and criticism of not checking costs, and no vendor response or consumer‑protection action has been reported.
  • The episode has become a flashpoint for wider concern over inflation and unclear service charges in Argentina and could increase public pressure for clearer price transparency in food and deli services.
