Gee,,,so UMM if I stop at the bar and the beer is TWENTY dollars,according to the consensus I shouldn't b!tch right? 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....Originally Posted by Fred Stripe
