  • @charlottetubes
    @charlottetubes 10 месяцев назад +51

    Local businesses have to pay their staff in US dollars too. So the businesses ask for dollars, which they have to "buy", if you don't pay in dollars. It's not a rip-off, it's only logical. If they put their prices in USD and you decide to not pay in dollars, it's not their problem, it is yours. Male is far away, the Male exchange rate doesn't apply on the local islands. There are no dollar ATMs on the local islands, so bring USD cash. Don't refer to your exchange rate app because it's just unfair, the Maldives are and island state, this is why western food is expensive too, btw. You can get anything, and that's what the resorts provide, but it comes with a price tag. 35USD for a snorkelling trip, how do you think these people should maintain their boats so tourists are safe, how to make a living and pay their staff so that they can make a living? Weird sort of tourism with a return of the cheap mentality. I hope not too many people like this. Instead spend a bit more and leave a decent tip.

      Tipping is garbage culture. If the resort doesn't pay their staff well it doesn't mean you push the burden to the customers. Instead of bittching about less pay and expecting a tip go complain to the resort owner and the government. The low wages of the employee is the problem created by greedy business owners and a lazy government, not the customers

    • @johndorian473
      @johndorian473 7 месяцев назад +4

      Why do local businesses have to pay in US dollars? That's the problem. Instead of defending the problem and asking customers to comply with ridiculous rules maybe realise that the blame is on whichever department decided that only dollars will be used to pay the local staff

    Just came across your channel by the wonders of RUclips recommendations. Really enjoying your content and story telling.
    Just one thing to put right! Moray Eels like most all creatures in the sea are not inherently dangerous. Like most wild life, they will always try and flee the area than attack. An attack is always there very last resort and only happens if they are cornered and cant escape. While Moray Eels have some serious teeth, it is actually not the bite itself that poses the threat but the fact that they feed mainly on cadaver of dead see creatures. As a result a Moray Eel bite can cause blood poisoning.
    As a scuba instructor I have seen countless Moray Ells in the Med and Red Sea and have never had a bad moment watching them.
