Why do they feel that they should be treated differently to everybody else. It is standard practice for all airline employees working in secure areas including flight crew to be screened. If you want to be regarded as a first world country then accept normal security standards.
Shrewd move on Christies part, BPL fails and he can blame the company. BPL succeeds and he can take credit for choosing them. Mr Miller seems to have a mental blockage when it comes to him and others paying their bills.
Fuel costs have never been lower but prices still high. This problem is a typical third world situation where successive governments are like kids who spend all their pocket money on wasteful items rather than plan for the future. This power station equipment should have been upgraded years ago and on a regular basis. The same happens to other government facilities where after initial cost no thought or budgeting is built in to carry out maintenance.
In a simplistic way does this mean that parents should tip teachers to make up their salaries but more importantly however you define a tip/gratuity I object to the mandatory implementation of this 15-20% on top of the bill and on top of VAT as it does not inspire the employee to give the best service when they know they will get the cash whatever. In one local restaurant the combination of gratuity and VAT adds a whopping 25% to your bill. Nobody should be expected to survive on minimum wage but unfortunately because of many factors including wages etc the Bahamas is fast pricing itself out of the world market.
