Perhaps a hello, and keep walking! Lol BTW guilty as charged..:cool:
there ARE hustlers but NOT everyone you meet is trying to hustle you..
My wife was asked where she was staying and she naively answered.....later that evening a knock on the door....guess who. I try to be as vague as possible and still be polite, but its no ones business where you are staying.

Not that this would happen.....
( some bad person hears that,,,,,,,,,, this tells them if you are to be scammed or "shoplifted", the best date is just before you leave the Island, as most people will just "skip" pursuing it with the law, and get on the plane....)
not accusing anybody for anything..but its what I would do....:)
Never intended to be intrusive by asking. Just being friendly and like to share info about different resorts and such. Food for thought tho.

Did you know that in Westmoreland it is said "where youa stay" and in St. Elizabeth it's "where you de stay"
I'm learning to write in Patois grammar finally ......
The point is it's not the question...it's who's asking it
