I saw the same thing and heard a lot of people on the beach complaining about the beach vendors. They have never bothered me and I always answered them and talked with them and a lot of times said hi or good morning before they did. After a few days of getting what I call the new of you they don't bother with you to much. The beach hustle has always been part of what I love about Negril. To a point anyways, there have been a few very persistent beach vendors who agravated me but not enough to spoil my trip. I explained it to the family members who came this year for the first time that at one time there were no bars and restaurants lining the beach and those vendors served a purpose and were necessary years ago and now they are competing with all the establishments on the beach to make a living. I always believed they deserved my respect and at least a polite hello and no thank you, have a nice day. My last few days this year I had fun with the ganja sellers who have all kinds of crazy names for what they sell and when they asked if I wanted blueberry Kush I asked if they wanted some of my raspberry Kush cause mine was the best on the island and I was leaving in a few days and had to much left lol. They all seemed to laugh and a few even have me a free sample lol
