You're beating the odds....I'll be going for the 5th time this December and have experienced this a few times. The first time it happened, I got caught off guard, wimped out and payed for the bracelet. The next two times this happened (once to my wife), we held our ground and refused payment.Originally Posted by Irie_Dawta
Does this make me want to stay away? Of course not. I love Negril and I love the beach at Negril. In fact, I even like the vendors....or at least 95% of the vendors. That being said, for anyone to say that there AREN'T pushy and shady vendors lurking on the beach are either lying to themselves and everyone else, or confines themselves to an area where they can't be gotten to. (I'm not accusing you of lying, Irie_Dawta ;0))
Most of the advice on this board that gives tips as to how to deal with pushy vendors is spot on. Don't let anyone put anything on your arm, and a firm, but polite "No thank you" will usually work.
