She may have made that "15 cents" statement to previous customers hoping they didn't have any change and would give her another "greenback" or two (or five).

That being said, is it an open "hire and fire" employee set up in the BVI? Someone posted, long ago, about "up the ladder" influences on who you can hire.

Several years ago, we were at BEYC on a slow, Sunday night. We went into the gift shop and the sole-employee, in her mid-twenties, was listening to gospel music on a small radio. I complemented her on her music. She said ~ "I have to work every Sunday. This music is the only way I get to go to church." How open is the job market for the locals?
