I also found in Cozumel specifically that the cruise ship recommended

willing to bargain.

So is this what you consider greed? I am confused.

I don't know what you mean, so I am confused too.

I've also shopped at
some places in Cozumel that were not on the cruise line's list. There is
one jeweler we have bought from on a couple of different occasions. Then
there was another place that sold onyx animals. The woman barely spoke
any English. Fortunately my son knew that the Spanish word for bear was oso.
