but seriously, i spend everything in JA....we carry 100 ones for tipping and quick change for places who claim not to have any....everything else is spent with ja dollars....if pricing is in US, i"ll take a cheap item off the menu, do a quick conversion in my head, and i'll know the diff before i order...alot of those same big name resturants charging in us dollars are also adding the gratuity in with the bill......i wonder how much, if any, the workers get of this.....
one thing to remember, if u are frustrated with a bill or something.....it is not the servers/workers fault, they just work there, usually have nothing to do with the pricing....i saw a tourist get all over a server this last trip about something she couldn't control....
