It's the old:"You would not survive without our tourist money." Gee, as a merchant, I only heard that at least 1,000 times each year.
Yes, in Florida we appreciate your money, I even won't grip about restaurant lines, traffic, etc. But survive without you? Baloney. Don't overstate your importance.
How do you think we get by the other 8 months of each year that you are not here? (Note: The money does NOT come from gouging you for four months a year.)
We conduct ourselves as visitors when we travel in the western states (because we are) and wouldn't think of making such a rude statement to anyone in a local business wherever we are.
We have had lots of people in the US say thanks for choosing to visit and we have never had the feeling we aren't welcome.
