Whenever I am drinking in a bar in Sosua and I ask to pay my bill, they never have change. I don't understand this. I never attempt to pay with more than a 500 peso note. How can an establishment that is attempting to stay in buisness look back at the customer and say, " lo siento pero no tenemos cambio." ? Like this is a delimma I am supposed to solve. I just look back at them and say, " no hay problema, puedo esperar". Am I , as the customer, supposed to carry 10, 20 and 50 peso notes at all times for the convience of the bars I decide to drink in? I don't complain about much when I am down here but this is rediculous.

The same darn thing happened to me 2 times while I bought food for my brother at a restaurant near where he is staying. The first time I paid with 500 pesos and I was told that they had no change. I had to call Elena so she could give me change. The second time that happened, I told the lady "this is a restaurant, for God's sake, it's not my problem if you do not have change, if you don't have it, go get some because I will not get change and if I have to get the change, I will not come back and pay you". Man, she flew out of the restaurant and got change. It amazes me that they look at you like if you are a moron, like telling us "shame on you for not carrying 10 and 20 pesos all the time".
