Dear Editor,
We have been coming to St. Maarten for many years and we have always enjoyed your beautiful island. Now when we come, we are scared going to shop on Front Street, because of people blocking your way, trying for you to go in their store, grabbing you, pouncing on you to get you in the stores.
A person should feel free and secure when they go shopping. One example I can give is a store by the name of Le Pure selling cream. They force you into applying the creams and try to sell you by grabbing you off the streets.
That is not right. The people are getting scared by this type of behaviour. This is very bad for the island. Nobody wants to come to an island where they are treated in this manner.
