Juta Tour Drivers Scam

True words

[RockRobster]

Holy Cow!! If you think the price is too high.....DON'T PAY IT!!!

If you aren't well-satisfied with Negril.....then......

I don't get upset when a taxi offers a ridiculous charter fare.....I simply say..."PASS ON!!!"....and wait for one that isn't an idiot. I don't even negotiate with idiots. I don't buy 500J beers from them either. It's nothing to get upset about. It's life.......

I mean it's a cultural thing and I'm not a FOOL geting ripped off by the un Smiley faces who don't even say Welcome to Jamaica? Right? Gee,now I know how the Lemming feels when he walks over the cliff.

Vote with your feet. Nobody is forcing you to buy a damn thing. If you don't like the price, don't buy it. Don't be offended, though. Its nothing personal against you. You just happen to be a tourist. Have you never been to a tourist trap in the US or Canada? Those things do exist, you know. And, they are not a ripoff or a scam. Just overpriced trinkets and drinks. You see these things at almost every exit on the Interstates in Florida. And, just like in JA, nobody is forcing you to buy a damn thing at the tourist traps. There are plenty of tourist trap bars in Manhattan and LA where you will pay 10 bucks for a Budweiser, if you want a beer badly enough. Same in JA. Ever been to Rick's? Bobsled Bar? Margaritaville? Should I continue? Me thinks the righteous indignation at the $5 beer is a bit overblown. As I stated previously, I hope this extraordinarily minor glitch in the vacation didn't ruin the whole trip....

I agree with Fred Stripe and would like to thank Irie John for the heads up. Just another reason to use the drivers that sponsor Negril.com
I am guessing the the people that that are complaining about this thread are the same people that save beach chairs : )

I HATE people that save beach chairs with the towel game and I HATE hotels that put up with it. But, I would never let something that MINOR spoil my vacation or cause me to rant. Well.....maybe I would rant a little...

Speaking of high-priced beers.....has anyone been to a MLB or NFL game lately? How about $12 for a beer? And that is to a captive audience who just paid more than $100 per person for the privilege of paying $12 a beer. Is that stopping anyone from going to the games? Is that spoiling the event for the ticket holders? Is that just about where the supply slope meets the demand slope?

Is sitting in the chair, considered saving the chair? : )

[BostonBob]

Oh oh, my towel is still on my chair and I am home. Kidding....

Why is it ok for the bar in this thread to overcharge for beer but in the Pub Crawl thread, Bella Donnas is getting kicked off the pub crawl stops for charging $5 a beer?
