    To clear this up.

    Central America, (Panama and up) is a part of North America. Mexico is also a part of North America, but not a part of Central America. Central America is 7 countries - Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.

    I believe it's a cultural thing. My wife is ALWAYS behind and she's Puerto Rican. Her family is the same way. From what she complains about her customers the most is that nearly most of her hispanic clients think it's okay to show up to a scheduled appointment nearly an hour or more after it that time has past.

    Funny thing is, It drives her ****ing insane. I laugh at that notion since she's similarly always late. Maybe not as bad, but usually late.

    Sorry my post confused. Thanks for clarifying this term since it started a mess of confusion. I should have been more clear. My question is why is this thread picking out Central and South Americans? Why not other areas of the North America where labor hails from. Like Mexico. Or America. Or even Canada? The REST of North America.

    I just thought it was odd to exclusively recruit from South America and Central America, and not Mexico and America.... and Canada to be fair. Or while I'm thinking about it, why not other continents or regions?

    I'm pretty sure OP meant to include all Latinos in the US as generally speaking we're the ones cleaning houses and such. OP, however, thought Mexicans are Central Americans.

    Because the spanish newspaper charges $35 per week for the ad and the american paper charges $200. Craigslist is next if the spanish paper doesnt pan out

    There were like 100 million results when I googled this, so obviously that means yes.

    This. In Costa Rica it's called "Tico Time", in Mexico and parts of South America it's just "Mañana, Mañana". It's like that in all the countries I've spent time in.
