Yes, David.
Hard for anyone who hasn't lived in the country outside of Negril to really appreciate just how much difference there is between a fair standard of living and the regular tourist's standard of living. You can tell a Jamaican all day and night that you don't have any money but he sees you staying in $100+ US a night hotels and paying $500 or more for a ticket to get there.
Yes, gerry..... you should know better.
