Juta Tour Drivers Scam

[kimbbeck]

Luxury vacation...I know people have to eat I get that but it IS unethical to price gouge,noone has to have a beer but sometimes on this board some people turn a half closed eye to some of the day to day bull that local people try.I travel often to Negril and over the years have learned the hard way...it puts a bad taste in your mouth when you see these things happen. Why not just warn /" out the unscrupulous ones and praise and identify the one's where you get a fair deal. Even on vacation I want to be treated fairly...that's one reason why I now longer even listen to all the hard luck stories I hear...I think about all the overtime I have to work to enjoy some time in the sun, just do the right thing, tip but don't accept the rip.

I look at it this way, if I can afford $$$$ for my vacation ~~ I certainly can afford $$ for a beer ~~~~

Amen. I sometimes cannot comprehend the level of cheap. 2 dollar difference to me is nothing. Surprise that a driver might get a kick back kind is shows a lack of knowledge as to how the works works.

thank you for your posts...they stopped the bus at a side road bar .with a goat out in front the man was angry did not smile at anyone give out warm beers...sad way to do business..everyone wished they could have given the money to someone else...

STICK with your convictions Irie John,it is what it is.A RIP off is a RIP off no matter WHO sits home and tries to politically correct you.I thought THAT is what this board is about INFO. You never painted a broad brush? No need to defend yourself. If I was in a bar in NYC and they ripped me off I would do the same.

Some try to paint Negril as some perfect Nirvana where there are no alligators who TAKE...And I LOVE Negril.I know the spot,the shack by the water,below the beautfull hill where the goats roam. They were nasty to me also. It is what is is and Most are not like that.I get tired of this "there are no VULTURES in Nirvana thing.

So it's "standard" business to get ripped off? Gee, so then I guess there is no seperation from the GOOD folks in Negril who do NOT rip off,right?Right? I get sooo tired of getting Fatherly wisdom from the ELDERS as if I havent traveled to many many countries and know a ripoff when I see it.

Gee,just throw away your money,dont challenge.I mean your'e rich right? I mean you don't work your AZZ off all year to pay for your vacation and work for others back home in order to do so.

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.
