AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Talk Belize Trip Reports Rip off at the International airport

I think it is part of the experence......a [#%!] poor rum punch and a goose!

Hello tropical living, let's face it, Jet is way over 70 years old, so please go and pick on someone your own age IMHO. I am convinced he is one of the nicest people in Belize and very much instrumental in building our tourism during the many years he has been running Jet's Bar at the old and new international airport buiding - You can't please everybody! I took the liberty of changing the subject back to loving him as too much negativity can be fatal. Stay positive!

Just putting in my vote in favor of Jet. It will be a sad day when I arrive at BZE and he is not there. Drinks are perfectly fine with me.....plus, how many airports sell beer for $3US a glass?......He does give me a hug, but no goosing. Fifty must be a safe age. I agree with the "weird traditionalists". And I plead guilty: I like the hotdogs.

Like I said in my last post....I've never met the man so I can't give my opinion on whether he's a lecherous little creep or a warm, loving ambassador for the country of Belize.

But my opinion, nor your opinion, nor anyone elses opinion gives us the right to change the original poster's thread title which as far as I can see is a statement of his experience at the International Airport.

I think it would be more appropriate for anyone with differing opinions and experiences to start their OWN thread instead of hijacking this one by changing the original title without the original poster's consent.

I'm no hall monitor, but let's face it, this practice could easily get out of hand if left unchecked.

I used to be a hall monitor, but someone with the ability to change thread subjects stripped me of my powers, such as they were.

I have to agree with everyone here (and I'm running for mayor); Jet is a lovingly lecherous, warm little creep of an ambassador for Goodson International. Heck, he's the only bar game in town in the departure lounge and, even if I can't say Belikin is the best beer I've ever tasted, he has it. I've paid a lot more for a beer in many airports in the states but have to admit I'm a little put out that he's never given me a goose or even a grouse.

He does act like he remembers me (and he probably does because I quit counting money very carefully when I'm on vacation and always tip him or his boys) and that's always a good feeling.

He does like the ladies. I think his height has great bearing on how those pictures make things look. Or maybe he just enjoys his perspective to its fullest...so to speak.

I'd like to own that bar, though.

CatMo, I'm sure that bar is for sale.

SHESOLD !

OMG, as my kids say. If you thought Jet's was bad when Jet ran it, can you imagine the issues if Ernie becomes the boss?!!!???

But, I bet we could get Crown and a damn good Tequila!

If Ernie became the boss, would he continue Jet's unique methodology of keeping "in touch" with his customers of the hormonal persuasion?
