We're still living under socialism 💀

8 days ago

Aunque me da vergüenza admitirlo, hoy hice una cola enorme por un pollo y una mortadela, es humillante pero es lo que estamos viviendo desde hace muchísimo tiempo… Y de hecho esta supuesta jornada no era para todo el mundo, era para abuelitos y personas con hijos, acepté porque realmente la situación no esta para despreciar un pollo o una mortadela… Pero me molesto muchísimo levantarme temprano un domingo y esperar casi 4 horas para poder recibir eso, fue bastante estresante, agobiante y traumático ya que me recordó muchísimo la época del 2017

Although I’m embarrassed to admit it, today I stood in a huge line for a chicken and some mortadella. It’s humiliating, but that’s what we’ve been going through for a very long time… And in fact, this so-called “special shopping day” wasn’t for everyone—it was for seniors and people with children. I went along with it because, honestly, the situation isn’t such that I can afford to turn down a chicken or some mortadella… But it really bothered me to get up early on a Sunday and wait almost four hours just to get that. It was pretty stressful, overwhelming, and traumatic, since it reminded me so much of 2017.

Desde las 8:30 am esperando porque supuestamente comenzarían a las 9 AM. Como siempre todo es lento en este país y la costumbre de impuntualidad del Venezolano nunca falla, siempre he sufrido por ese tema a cualquier lugar donde voy, nadie respeta los horarios ni el tiempo ajeno, a penas comenzaron a vender las cosas como a las 11 AM Y logramos salir de allí a las 12:40 PM.

I've been waiting since 8:30 a.m. because they were supposed to start at 9 a.m. As always, everything moves slowly in this country, and Venezuelans’ habit of being late never fails. I’ve always struggled with this issue wherever I go—no one respects schedules or other people’s time. They barely started selling things around 11 AM, and we finally managed to leave there at 12:40 PM.

A pesar de todo el tiempo se nos pasó un poco rápido porque buscamos las maneras de distraernos, hasta nos dio tiempo de pasear un rato de tanto que se tardo esa gente en armar todo para comenzar a vender.

Despite everything, the time went by pretty quickly because we found ways to keep ourselves entertained; we even had time to take a little walk since it took those people so long to set everything up and start selling.

Sinceramente no se si volvería a comprar allí ya que me hicieron esperar demasiado, la cola era enorme y al pasar no puedes llevar la cantidad de comida que desees solamente un pollo y una mortadela y para mas colmo me dieron un pollo recién nacido, era muy MUY pequeño.

Honestly, I don't know if I'd shop there again because they made me wait too long, the line was huge, and when you finally get to the counter, you can't take as much food as you want—just a chicken and some mortadella. To top it all off, they gave me a baby chicken; it was very, VERY small.

Lo único “bueno” es que tambien vendieron otros productos (HARINA, PASTA, ARROZ, ACEITE, AZUCAR, GRANOS) pero aparte de eso había una mesa donde tenían bebidas como chicha y bebida de chocolate en polvo, sinceramente eso si me gusta bastante y estaban a un super precio, normalmente esas cosas aquí cuestan muy costosas, al final me alegre mas por estas bebidas que por el pollo.

The only “good” thing is that they also sold other products (FLOUR, PASTA, RICE, OIL, SUGAR, GRAINS), but aside from that, there was a table with drinks like chicha and chocolate powder mix. Honestly, I really like those, and they were a great deal—usually those things are really expensive here. In the end, I was happier about those drinks than about the chicken.

La experiencia de hoy la vere como una especie de experimento, tenia muchísimo tiempo sin estar dentro de una cola por comida y me llevo a los peores recuerdos de los días más difíciles en este país.

I’ll look back on today’s experience as a kind of experiment; it had been ages since I’d stood in line for food, and it brought back the worst memories of the hardest days I’ve had in this country.

So many people need to see real stories about socialism, from the people living under it! Here is Canada it is looked at like a great thing and the way of the future. There are even talks about government run grocery stores. Thank you for sharing!!
