    Immigration Officer requesting tips (POP airport)

    CROOKS!!!!

    I have mentioned in my March Stewfest trip report about an immigration officer writing down "T-I-P-S" behind my immigration entry paper. When he did so he told that it was his birthday, hey it happened that day was really MY birthday so I just told him so and told him that HE should give ME a tip. Then something caught his attention or CAUGHT HIM and he quickly send me on my way. Then right when I was leaving his booth I saw this lady supervisor just patrolling the booth sector and that is why he gave up.

    Well this time homeboy upgraded. He now has his own piece of riggidy paper writen the word "tips" on it. As I really didn't remember his face I suspect all of them to get about ready to ask and act accordingly.

    So there he goes showing me the piece of paper, and this was me.........totally i-gnor-ing-him. I was looking dead at his desk waiting for his next move, he obviously couldn't keep the TIPS sheet to my face for long. He made a nervous smile, stamped my paper and I was AWOUT!!!

    It was at the booth #7.

    Just wanted to make that part of my trip report seprate since I think it would be easy for them to get some of us since we don't know what we're dealing with an immigration/police officer in a Third World country. I played the ignorance/dead-face game card and it worked.

    Mothafucker!

    Smile! You're on candid camera!!

    They're all being monitored now with cameras, so they've got to be a lot more subtle with requests.

    I agree with Continental Mike, you should have taken the paper and shown it to a supervisor. I would.

    Only happened to me once and it was while leaving the DR. A guy asked for a tip and I just pointed to the sign that says they are not allowed to ask for tips. End of story.

    Last time I went to the DR, October 2007, they were doing that. The guy in line in front of me gave $5 and I thought I was next, but they never asked me. Does this happen in Santiago and SD or just POP?

    Yeah..they will try all kinds of shit. My first trip, dude kept repeating my name very slowly while his partner was pretending to inspect one of my small carry-ons. I just looked at them both like they were out of they're muthafuckin' minds and loudly asked for a supervisor. All of of sudden he couldn't understand English, but quickly handed me my passport and his boy was very eager to help me get the hell on out of their line. That was some funny shit!

    My favorite scam at POP is when they decide that simple items are "hazardous" for carry on's. On my last trip, they claimed that my travel iron was "hazardous" and told me to check my bag. I don't argue with these fuckers and I told him to keep it and give it to someone as a gift. They also took a lady's umbrella from her, claiming it was "hazardous". Fucking scammers!! I bet i will see my travel iron in one of the airport shops on my next visit.

    Umbrellas are no longer allowed, they even tell you that when u are checking your bag, to remove it from carry on and put it in the checked luggage, or they should be telling you .

    Umbrella's, traveling irons?

    You didn't have a checked bag at all I presume or were you planning to iron everyone's shirt on the wing of the plane in a rainstorm?
