speaking of getting ripped off... i think we should start with the discos charging 70-90 pesos for a small presidente or 200 pesos for a bailys that i bought a girl i was with... thats fucking $6... or a barcelo costing about 140 pesos the bottles cost 130 at Super Super for the anejo... whats the deal with that... or how about restaurants like Maura Mai charging in fucking dollars and you paying $20-30 for a nice fish dinner there... or paying $12 for a chicken sandwich at PJ's... this island is starting to cost more and more for everything... good thing im starting to get 500 peso chicas

I still payed RD$ 60 for a Cuba libre or Santo libre at Latino's and Classico's.. RD$ 40 for a small beer.. this was in September/October 2004.. have prices risen so sharply?

[Jimmydr]

Lechero... you are 100% right and I couldnt agree with you more... So if I arrive at the airport and two other guys that I dont know arrive and he takes us all back to different hotels stops off to let me change money then helps me in with my bags and waits till i get my room at one ocean... then charges me $10 and the other guys $15... am i really getting ripped off....?

Yea!! Why did the other guys need to share a cab when there are 20 other cabs there?

I eat in my apartment, much cheaper. Nothing you guys can do about it really.

Could it be that because of inflationary pressures in the DR, the cost of production and goods have risen?

I suspect that may be more true that simple greed. Well, most of it anyway...

Inside a month :?: ... damn..

[Jimmydr]

Its greed. Jesus makes 2 runs and earns $50 in a course of an hour or 2?

That would be $350 a week for working 10 hours only.

I think they charge what they can get away with.. gua-gua charges you only RD$20 from POPairport to Sosua (but you gotta get outside the gat by yourself)

[Reel Deal]

As a whole, businesses are reluctant to raise prioces even when experiencing cost pressures. They think if they hold the line and a competitor raises theirs first, they will capture more market share.

But when the first one does...BANG!!!!...they all do.

A classic example is airline fares. When one goes up, they all do.

I still say that a good portion of the reason for higher prices is the inflationary pressures the whole country has been experiencing. Even within a given month.

There was a tax recently established on alcohol (18%) and tobacco (22%).

My cheap drinking spots all went up 10 pesos on grandes. SuperSuper raised their price for a carton of smoke by 90 pesos.

The only BIG issue is the price of food in La Roca , PJ's etc.......
Its out of control now. Did you know La Roca has a local menu, and a Gringo menu!

Yea we all know that.

[BrooklynBeas]

No, that was not my point.
If you are with 2 or 3 buddies and he pulls that crap, then it is wrong.
If you got the better price and extra service, then you are a cheap fuck for not paying him the FULL $15.
It's all how you perceive his services.
A regular cab from the airport would not hang out with you and make an extra stop for $15. I just would not stand for being ripped off with friends.
Strangers paying extra, and I pay less.......well! You did better! It's all good.

Jesus knows me... I asked him this.... Cuanto... quince? and he replied no diez para ti y quince para otra hombres...

[BrooklynBeas]

Lechero... you are 100% right and I couldnt agree with you more...

Yea!! Why did the other guys need to share a cab when there are 20 other cabs there?

Jesus was there to pick us all up...these other guys must have made reservations for him to be there because they knew about the palace and like me they didnt get a room there because John was booked.... John set up my pickup with Jesus cause i didnt have his # back then...

no way is it 40 pesos for a small beer in a disco in Sosua... maybe on the beach but not in a disco... i think Latino is 70 and Classico 90... Voodoo Lounge is 100 i believe.... that means its about 3 bucks for a beer... you have got to be kiddin me!!!

[Jimmydr]

Coastal was 31 pesos a beer.

[continentalmike]

Sorry, it's what I paid, I believe.. but I was drinking.. didn't drink much beer though.. mostly Cuba's and they def were only RD$60

[BrooklynBeas]

yeah i think we all know about La Roca... they still make me ask for the fucking Members Only menu as well.. and they know me... still my favorite place to eat.... i dont pay tax either ... just like a local!
