$1 for a NApkin- WTF would you pay that?

[BRZ]

Imagine you on Store bay and you just purchased the already Overpriced Lunches from one of the vendors, and when they give you it they handed you it together with a napkin and your plastic utensils, but they way that they bundled it together when you held it your napkin fell, so you nicely ask the Vendor for an additional Napkin, she then turns to you and says- Yeah Dats ONE DOLLAR.



Tobago would Never survive as a Tourist only Destination.

ZR you always have some narrative where you are the victim because people jealous you and it will somehow all tie back to PNM. Save us the rigmarole.

Seriously though, Tobago throws away a lot of potential by having a very crappy attitude towards customer service. Especially now with social media and websites like trip advisor they really need to focus on treating people well to help build their brand instead of destroying it.

Treat a tourist like that and they're going to go back home and give negative reviews. You think only Tobago has coral reefs and nice beaches? If people hear that they are rude to tourists then they're probably going to look to somewhere else when planning their vacation.

Tobago attitude stink to you because they fed up dealing with middle-class trinis who couldn't afford to go Margarita this time, so they go Tobago and act like the fly out to foreign and could talk down to ppl because they spending $TT. Nobody drives down to San Fernando and complains about the bad service of San Fernando, it's the whole country, Tobago no different.

If you are white and have an accent then the service improves and you get the full experience but if you black like them and acting like if they need you to give them good word of mouth because you will bring forex and international acclaim then you will be disappointed. And if you vex about that you will get the same treatment in Mayaro, Maracas, Chaguaramas and any other local tourist destination.

When last I checked, Tobago tickets still selling out because locals still going.

^^I think if yuh white n speak with a accent, u get killed.
Wonder if d price of doubles is $5 in tobago??

This post is fcuking garbage. Why assume they getting talked down to? Post reminded me of a ZR post.

Take it in yuh waist!

[pete]

It's not only Trinis they have a stink attitude to. My aunt and uncle from Minnesota were here and had a similar type of experience. Went to get food, were told to come back in 20 mins so went for a walk. Passed back after 15 mins and just stopped in to see if it might be ready and were told "ent ah tell yuh 20 mins?".

Thing is it doesn't matter if it's a middle class trini who couldn't afford to go to Margarita, they chose to come to Tobago and chose to buy from you. Be happy that it happened and don't care whether they talk down to you cause at the end of the day you get your money and that's all that matters. Give everyone great service so they can go tell their friends how nice you were and that's where they should buy from if they visit.

[SR]

Exactly tobago has so much potential but the attitude of people will never change. Customer service....lololol u always get the tobago version unless yuh skin white (not local white eh) and you have an accent

The airport and the seaport: Ongoing saga between Trinidad and Tobago
26 Jul 2015
DEAR EDITOR:

THIS is about the terrible treatment meted out to standby passengers leaving Trinidad, bound for Tobago, on Wednesday, June 3 2015. This was no international flight, but a domestic situation where fare-paying travelling members of the country simply wanted to take a flight home. Imagine for most, we were in our own jurisdiction!

Some passengers arrived at the airport as early as 1pm and/or before. Scores, over 100 persons mostly Tobagonians, our brother and sister from Trinidad and visitors to the island were forced to remain in the airport and, sleep in the frigid/cold unaccommodating open spaces that were just "perfect" for our local travellers stranded at Piarco International Airport overnight, because no additional flight was arranged for us until after 12 noon the next day, Thursday, June 4, 2015.

We are disappointed. This was the first bad treatment for yours truly, travelling home for Corpus Christi, but for several persons, it was a recurring nightmare. As usual, travellers included persons that visited Trinidad for business, pleasure, work, education, health, urgent appointments etc. Notably, the front desk workers and their supervisors (assumption) were very insensitive to our plight and pleas. Though the flight arrangements seemed out of their control; the smirking, giggles, soft bark, irritated voice tones, annoyed stares, the switching off of the lights on scores of us at midnight and rudely walking off (while others flew home), was heart rending. Let me highlight that maybe to our disadvantage, the crowd of passengers remained patient and respectful, but this was sheer torture as we felt the disrespect to our core.

I do not know if knowledge of this event will reach an assigned committee of Caribbean Airlines that can help to negotiate change or a minister of government; but I guess we just hope that additional flights can be made available for these annual holiday weekends, vacation times or festive seasons. I am reliably informed that airbridge situation might have been addressed head–on by our ‘leaders’ in Tobago, but so far the situation continues to get worse. We need solutions for the Tobagonians and the travelling public at large.

To our leaders and readers, some suggest more boats on the seabridge to absorb local traffic at the airport, but with the speed of travel taken into consideration, it’s only one solution. More connecting or direct flights to Tobago can be arranged at these peak times for travellers between Trinidad and Tobago. Some sort of airbus. Creeping in also is the suggestion about the introduction of sea planes, of which some know little. Remember also the suggestion of a bridge or causeway of some sort between our twin islands (ref: Virginia bridge and tunnel, or Panama causeway?).The experts will know exactly how this can be done, if it is a safe and feasible.

Getting to Tobago should be a breeze, not a hurricane. Who will negotiate better for us Tobagonians and the wider population? I am trying to find out. Respect.

PS! Due to the overnight delay in getting to Tobago, I missed the opening session of the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers’ Association (TTUTA) Tobago District ceremony. I gladly made it to the Professional day Friday, June 5 2015. Listening to our feature speaker Mr. Rennie Dumas, I learnt that our union, among others, has influenced the waves of change for key events during the evolution and development of our island from the 1960’s until present day. I make this plea for positive change in the inter-island transport situation in Trinidad and Tobago, not only for teachers, but every well deserving member of the public on the twin Island.

The problem is a lot of you guys seeing yourself as outsiders visiting another country. If the service in Trinidad is bad, why be so disappointed of the service in Tobago? The facts affecting bad service in Trinidad apply to Tobago as well. Also having had brief stints in customer service I can say Trinis are also bad customers, Trinis get a kick out of rinsing out their mouth on a CSR or being rude to their busy waitress or not tipping. This might not be you but I have experienced being nice to Trinbagoian customers and not have it reciprocated along with them being cheap.

Fellow Caribbean neighbours can attest it especially Jamaicans and Guyanese who Trinis act like if they are privileged to even enter Trinidad. If you get bad service in Tobago, do the same like if you get bad service in POS and boycott it, simple.

You have to be an idiot to assume that EVERYONE who complains about the bad service in Tobago simply was talking down to them. I don't care what article you link to or what theory you have in your head about how trinis view themselves. Your logic is paint brushing a la ZR and the others and it's disgusting.

Lots of trinis go there and DO NOT talk down to anyone and get bad service nonetheless. Can't believe you actually trying to justify bad service. If it's sheit in Trinidad we will talk about it just as well.
