Welcome to the Board Kootenaygirl!
My take on this is different than many others since I live here. The beach vendors rarely bother me anymore. I still get a few new vendors ask me to buy something, but for the most part they know me and leave me alone. I do remember how it was and they can be persistent as some have stated - but in fairness they do need money to put food on the table. They wont know how many other vendors approached you that day, and if you keep that in mind it can make things easier.
Some of my best friends I never would have met if they had not tried to sell me something years ago. Some of them I see almost everyday, others maybe once a month. But we wouldnt be friends today if they had not approached me and tried to make a sale.
Once again, welcome to the Negril Message Board!
