The thing is, you're giving "your opinion" as if it is a fact, when it is just, like, your opinion, man (woman). It's not disrespectful in the major tourist areas, especially if they prefer to be paid in US dollars.Originally Posted by nicollet

It is a fact and you;re wrong . Why do you think there are lineups out the door at the Scotiabank ....jamaicans trying to exchange their U.S money to the country' s national currency perhaps??????? You don't think all these trips to the bank are a pain the a$$ for locals????? Its not all about you when you are a GUEST in another country. RESPECT
They make more money by requesting (and receiving) payment in US. I'm 100% certain they are okay with the "pain in the ass". You realize that Rob lives in Negril, yes?
Nicollet,
The Gold Nugget Cambio right next to Scotia gives a much better exchange rate than Scotia does. If someone is taking US$ currency into Scotia they are more than likely depositing it in their US$ bank account. Yes, Scotia offers both JA$ and US$ currency accounts. Negril.com, as a business has both types so we can deposit the money into the appropriate account.
I wait in those "pain in the a$$" lines myself. No business owner here is stupid enough to waste their time exchanging US$ for a worse rate when you can exchange it quicker and for more money at a cambio.
Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
my point WAS the national currency is jamaican dollars. FACT. USE IT. Stop beating a dead horse Rob. We could debate this all day.
Yikes...
