Xtabi is an X for me

[booger]

While the experience was harsh, I would have to guess it's not rare. If the servers are accountable for their tabs, as many restaurants in the States are, I can see them overreacting. Your bill was probably more than the workers take home for the week. Do I agree with it, hell no......... However, I would look at it from their perspective as entry level employees. It's obviously a situation that they should be better prepared to handle since the lines are down quite frequently.

Hope Misti you can get the bad taste out of your mouth and reflect on the positives of your trip. The time you have spent defending yourself here could be better spent IMHO. Check out from this one.........

Kent.....quite simply have you ever had someone threaten to call the police on you AFTER You have paid them?? I am a retired school teacher and guidance counselor who has led her life within the lines for someone to even THREATEN to call the Negril police on me is more than enough to make me "hell bent" as you call it. However, that being said, that is MY deal....you will probably have a lovely vacation... Thank you for giving the guidance counselor some vocational advice to become a restaurant critic, however I do not wish to return to the world of work..thanks.

This really was good advice, but ........Also I had a bad incident in the beginning of my trip and then this one , the three months in between were bliss. My friends are privy to the great trip I had. It's the real world has its ups and downs
