Juta Tour Drivers Scam

[QUOTE=kimbbeck;95359]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.[/Q I have been traveling to Jamiaca for numerous years, I feel the exact same way and couldn't have said this better myself.

I have an idea , wait until you get to Negril and go to the chinamans across from the Scotiabank you can buy 3 cases that's 72 beer for 7200j , now load up your cooler bag and head to the beach. With the money you saved you can support the local beach venders , fruit lady , patty guy , musicians ,ect. Now sit back and relax.

Great advise Roy Mon! We do go to chinamans for cases of Red Stripe, and buy some at the bar of our hotel!

There is a small shop next to AhhBees.One morning my wife and I were going to AhhBees for Burgers and he wasn't open yet.We went inside the little shop,it has a couch a couple chairs and a small bar.There is an old Rasta in there and we decided to get a couple coffees and wait for Aubie to open.I ordered the coffees and he went and made them.They were very good coffees.When it was time to leave I asked him how much I owed him,he said $10.I said you got to be fu#@ing kidding me.He just looked at me with a blank look on his face as if I was an idiot.I guess I was since I didn't ask how much a coffee cost.So he got his $10 and we left.This **** is really too bad as they were really good coffees and if he hadn't ripped me off he would have made the $10 many times over as I spend at least five weeks a year there and I really like quality coffee.I don't think they even realize that by doing this to people they are losing more money than they ever get for the one time ripoff.

It takes away from the good/pure folks,like Sip & Bites who give you a good meal for a good price. I bought them a can of Old Bay seasoning last Dec.

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?

Because Lenbert makes a living off treating tourists right. Donna was screwing up. Relative or no, Lenbert took care of business. Nobody said a $5 beer is "right", just that if you don't want it, don't buy it....

mi paid mostly $200J's for a cold Red Stripe Beer at the establishments in Negril all winter long.....
typically mi buy mi beers at the Supermarket for the apt.....Red Stripe Beer is the least expensive
Corona Beer is the most expensive.......
when you go out to the nightclubs they usually get $300J's for a Beer if no cover charge.....
couple places were $200J's and $250J's for Red Stripes.......
if you are really on a beer budget when you arrive in Jamaica.........
just have the driver stop at MegaMart in MoBay on the way out to Negril.......
Megamart has the best prices for Beer period......that's always mi first stop in Jamaica....
