Part of the reason I get paid so shitty is the fact that we encourage the tourist to tip. So most of the day is spent hustlin’ the tourist for money. I have never had a job, which gets tips, and I am not a big fan of it. I don’t like pretending to care about these jackasses who can’t swim with a life vest on and suck down salt water while snorkeling. However the Bahamians love it. They target a couple people per group and hustl’ them all day. We have an unwritten rule where if the money is in the tip jar it gets split up among the group but if you get it handed to you personally you get to keep it. So today a guy wanted to propose to he girlfriend with the ring inside the oyster and let her open it. We all were told about it by the dock rep who brings them over on the ferry and one girl Nae, a hard ghetto girl, and a dyke, sets up the oyster. It turns out perfect and everything goes well and the guy drops a 50 in the jar, big money. At the end of the day Nae has taken the 50 out saying that it was hers cause she helped the guy and we get the rest, about $6 a person. The other guys start going crazy, calling her petty and threatening to burst her in the mouth and boot her up if she doesn’t split it up evenly. It further escalates till Rasheed grabs 2 large rocks and starts running at Nae and has to be restrained. After the rocks are removed from his hand he grabs up a bottle and throws it at Nae’s head and she starts coming over to hit him with a stick. That happens almost weekly at Pearl Island.
