"In Worthing, it's considered disrespectful to dress inappropriately. Beachwear is acceptable on the beach, but not in town or in churches. It's also important to respect the local customs and traditions, such as greeting people politely and not interrupting when someone is speaking. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics and religion unless you are well acquainted with the person. Barbadians value their privacy and personal space, so avoid asking too many personal questions or getting too close physically. It's also considered rude to litter, so always dispose of your trash properly. Public displays of affection are generally frowned upon, especially in more conservative areas. Barbadians are generally laid-back and relaxed, so avoid being overly loud or aggressive. It's also important to be patient and not rush things, as the pace of life in Barbados is slower than in many other countries. Finally, tipping is customary in Barbados, so it's considered rude not to tip for good service," remarked another expat in Worthing, Barbados.
