Thanks a bunch..

Man, what is Island tours golf cart rentals thinking? Who's running the show?

If Island Supermarket/Auto had given those folks 6 grand and a free trip to Disneyland it would have been cheaper than the amount of lost business they probably has suffered already.
It amazes me to see how short sighted some people are. They have not just shot themselves in the proverbial foot, they amputated it.
Jikes!!

FYI some partial quotes from the Business Forum to let you all know that the situation is being addressed. the 3 first quotes are from yesterday, and the last quote is from today.

Looks like members of the SPBA are stepping up to the plate and doing the right thing. Only makes sense, this is a horrible story for a potential visitor to get a hold of.
Thanks for sharing these messages Jan.

is this the same grocery store that seems to charge double what is the going rate for grocerys?

Jan,
Thanks much for the updated info. The input of other SP businesses probably carries more weight than a multitude of emails from tourists. Good job!

Barnacle - yes, it is. It's also the one that likes to add to the charge if it thinks you won't notice. Sadly, as Simon said earlier, it's also a shop that sometimes stocks items not available elsewhere.

Hello all,
We are doing well. I want to say to Suecate, I for one and my husband in tow, will return to San Pedro and won't think twice about renting a golf cart. I just won't ever do any type of business with the family that owns island groceries, carts and hardware stores. The San Pedro business association was there with us to meet with our lawyer as well as Brent and Javier from Victoria house who remained with us all day until they almost missed their flight back to San Pedro (Thank you Brent for getting us a comped room at the Radisson in Belize City). We have court in the morning so that maybe we can go home. I can assure you that Norman and I have been very well taken care of by Victoria House, Pedros Inn, Banana Beach and many other caring people around the island. Normally, when travelers have to deal with a situation like this, they duck and run because they are in a foreign country with no assistance. We don't feel as if we are in a foreign country at all rather we have a new extended family we can't wait to come back and visit. We are really bummed out we couldn't hang out at Pedro's tonight but we'll be there again soon. Perhaps tomorrow night if we can't go home I'll post again after court tomorrow. Norman and I cannot thank the the Vicotria House and the San Pedro Business Association enough for standing up for our case. What you have done for us is an incredible act of kindness and nothing we could say or do could ever reflect our gratitude.

Sandra,
Thanks for keeping us posted. Many of us are very interested in the outcome of this situation. You couldn't have found better businesses to stand up for you: Victoria House, Peter, Banana Beach - the best there is. Good luck tomorrow!
