Some days ago, I posted about the phenomenon that we are seeing in Venezuela with the almost magical apparition of new businesses in stark contrast with the overwhelming poverty and deterioration of infrastructures and services that have characterized our economy in the last 10 years.

I had no plans to visit this supermarket because it's very far from where we live. However, we went to visit my wife's father yesterday (it was his birthday) who happens to live close to this new supermarket. He did not have plans for his birthday, but seeing the visit, he decided to drive there for some extra supplies.
As soon as we entered we could feel the difference, not just the newness of the place, but also the kindness of the employees. They sounded like they had been practicing every word and movement.
I turned left and saw this gorgeous arrangement of apples.

I turned right and saw these gorgeous models

I turned left again and was going to start documenting this fancy shopping experience when I was interpolated by a clerk and asked to please stop taking pictures.

I took a deep breath. I asked her why. She said the was following orders. She clarified that I could take "family pictures" but not pictures at the products.
