This seems as good a time and place as any, and doesn't stray from the thread too much, to ask this question of the females who are so vociferously supportive of their friends who just so happen to work in Dominican resorts.
The scenarios that we describe when we try and warn people of the possible dangers of a "friendship" with a hotel worker may not have happened to you personally..... but........
Can you honestly say that in the time that you have known and been in the company of your friends you have never seen any "scamming" going on?
Resort workers normally hang out with other resort workers in their free time -if there is a group there are almost always gringas with them - some will live there, some will be repeat visitors and usually there will be one or two newbies - first or second timers - who have "fallen" for one of the guys.
Have you seen that? Have you thought - umm, nice couple - or have you thought - I wonder what he sees in her? - or perhaps - she seems a bit old for him - or perhaps - but that is not who I saw him with last week!
Yes, we all have Dominican friends, nobody is denying that but unless you are being kept away from the real goings on or you are burying your head in the sand it is a fact and people do need to be warned I am afraid.
IMO
