I've learned to do whatever I would like to do with my money while in Jamaica and keep my mouth shut about it on this board. It makes life much simpler.

Respect!
Well, in both this case and yours people were merely trying to help. I undrestand you not caring much about saving $100US over the course of your trip, but the thing is, in this case they're just handing the difference to a bank. Banks don't need to make any more than the fees they already do. If the op exchanged in Negril, at a cambio or atm then they could spread that money around Negril, rather than fattening the coffers of a bank.
