Why do Jamaicans think Americans always need something?

You can't lump everyone into the same category, tourists or vendors.

Personally, I ALSO have an issue with vendors who won't take "no" for an answer or put stuff in your hands and then demand payment. I don't however, begrudge vendors for attempting to earn a living.

Another thing...."Respect" is a two way street....if they show me respect, I'll give it back in return. Harassing people and demanding sales is NOT showing "respect". All it takes is a polite "sell pitch" and a polite response, and everything would be cool, IMO.

Wow, my first post in forever and....well anyway.
Not sure how you got that I was lumping everyone into the same category but I all I am saying is that maybe, just maybe SOME of the people that are having a hard time could take a look at HOW they are responding to the people on the beach.
I have NEVER in 15 yrs of visiting JA had someone put something on my arm and try to get me to pay for it nor have I had anyone follow me down the beach begging for money. Im just sayin....
