Re: Why do Jamaicans think Americans always need something?
On top of my already long rambling post I forgot to add not only was I probably the most afraid on this board of the beach sellers initially I now miss them! I miss the interaction, the conversation and having everything come to me when I need it.I miss the small talk I miss the stories I miss the jokes.I miss them trying to make a sale and when I may not want to buy something we bounce jokey insults from each other I got no money honeyy! or sometimes I do buy items.When I come back from Jamaica all I see is miserable faces in miserable weather no-one brings you nothing no-one says hello , no -one asks hows your day or can they help you in any way.I guess I am the total opposite of the original poster who thinks they are all annoyances and scammers,I guess I am the odd person who misses it all and actually pays an incredible amount every year for me and my family to be there and hear these sales pitches day in day out.Actually if you bother to stop and chat with them for a minute or two if you ever need to sell anything back home you may pick up a tip or two.There is no better salesmen and women in the WORLD than those in Jamaica! And I have learned a few sales patter lines myself.So not only do I miss them I have learned from them and enjoy my little items I have bought.Ahhh when is my next trip?
