Bella Donna or anyone else has a right to sell beer for 5 dollars if the price is clear in advance, and you get what you pay for.

What I really do NOT like is Negril folks that take advantage of tourists by use of deception.

Negril is the greatest vacation spot in the entire world, and I love the place, especially the people. But there are some bad apples, a few more bad apples, frankly, than what is acceptable to particularly discerning tourists. But if you go in with a mindset of simply go-with-the-flow, and you purposely budget for getting taken for a few bucks once or twice a week, then it is all Irie.

No problem, mon. I've been saying it and hearing it for years. But some Negril businesses might mean "no problem for ME that is."
The problem is that greed has become universally accepted. Most everybody most everywhere believe that they are entitled to cheating, stealing, etc... because everywhere around them it happens. Insurance companies boosting premiums 8, 10, 20% in one shot, oil companies gouging anytime they can, politicians, police, investment bankers, you name it cheat and steal. I happen to believe in Karma and that one day I'll be held accountable for my deeds good or bad. It isn't Bella Donna or Negril or Jamaica it's what is ruining the world everywhere, Greed.
