Tipping etiquette and Jamaica.

That doesn't put it in perspective, babysitters in the States can actually make a pretty decent amount!

At the end of the day what exactly is the meal paying for in Jamaica if it's so different?

If the prices were a fraction of the price of a US meal your argument about employee pay being so low might hold water.

After 40 years in Jamaica with a home and two adopted children it's possible that I have a different perspective.

Your perspective is appropriate for you.

How is my perspective different from yours? What is your perspective? That people should be charged twice for service?

Do you really believe restaurants shouldn't pay their employees fairly and charge accordingly?

I run three businesses in the US and we take care of our employees, a lot of business owners don't in the states and their sales inevitably suffer.

Turning to the government to mandate customers pay the employees properly is a cop out for a business owner.

At 70 I've reached the point where dollars aren't that important. I feel blessed to be able to do what I can.

My perspective is "Lord let me help where I can and not try to change that which I cannot... and the wisdom to know the difference"
