Question about the pier and water taxis

When we were there last October I actually heard "Oh, C'mon, Mister...is that all? You don't have a dollar for me?

If they made a 10 pesos off of every gringo, they would be rich at the end of the day. All hell, I'd be down there also acting like I was helping. I know some actually help, but some just touch you and feel they are owed something. 1 peso from every person on the boat, that would be 14 pesos+/- a boat. Multiply that by every boat I think they would have a good day.
