The Facebook page of Tiendas Caribe de Granma made the delights of the readers on Tuesday with an unusual “story of the day”. The text began by clarifying that what followed really happened, in a local Bayamo, and that “the words used were exactly the same.”
Next, the story presented “a young client” who went to the El Arte store in Bayamo, to whom an extraordinary event happened “instantly”: “the local workers welcomed her as she deserved”, well, she clarified, “at that time she was the only one who passed by there”. The detail would not squeak Bayamese, because it is one of the stores with the lowest influx of buyers in the municipality.
Without at any time showing a joking mood in the publication, the story continued: “The lady walked directly very interested in one of our clothing, she went for a Spandex fabric skirt with polyester, white and with fringes very much in tune with the summer stage.
And it reproduced a dialogue of height:
“–I want to try on a size 7.
– Yes, of course, I’ll show it to you right away, and you can use the installation fitting room that’s in that corner so you can look at yourself and choose the one that best suits you”.
The publication, offered as “an example of a sale to a client with great success and satisfaction”, has not taken long to be plagued by humorous comments
Satisfied, the client went to the cash register “to make the payment”. The clerk then “proceeded to make the payment.” With that, she “successfully went through the sale, handing him [sic] receipts and putting the merchandise in the plastic bag”.
After being fired by the employee with a “thank you for your visit, come back soon!”, the young woman, the only one in the store if we listen to the narration, was subjected to the scrutiny of the receipts to verify the merchandise that was It is carried by the doorman, in charge, it reads, “of reviewing and ensuring the integrity of the store”.
The publication, offered as “an example of a sale to a client with great success and satisfaction”, has not taken long to be plagued by jocular comments, who laugh for presenting a bland act like buying as an unprecedented achievement.
“This writing seems short to me. He should have called all the world news agencies so that cameras in hand would show the world the exclusivity. For the first time, good treatment was discovered in a Cuban store,” one mocks. “The tension, the mastery of the language, the character development… Sublime,” another jokes, and one of the many adds, with free rein: “It seems to me a very beautiful composition. I was left wanting to know more. What would be the dramaturgical continuity of the story. What did your mother say to you when you came home with the skirt of Spandex fabric with polyester? What dreams did you materialize with your skirt? Under what armpit did you transport her, by means of a pedicab, to your home? With what bra (purchased the latter in what other TRD unit) did you combine it for your Sunday walk? Please, do not delay in giving continuity to this, that one does not live. “
“As we are in prehistory, we don’t know how to communicate and we are learning. This is the first class of Customer Service. Thank you, I look forward to the second”
“As we are in prehistory, we don’t know how to communicate and we are learning. This is the first class of Customer Service. Thank you, I look forward to the second”, says Madelaine Verdecia Enamorado.
The user Jotabarrioz, for his part, jokes: “The Top 5 Luckiest Cuban Clients in the World”, and others, like Yaneth CM, become serious: “He did nothing more than fulfill his position profile. I don’t understand what it is the merit. The truth is, these publications only promote mockery.”
There is no lack of those who, in the ten photographs that accompany the writing, in full smile and color, suspiciously observe that everything is a fiction. And indeed, only the words “once upon a time” are missing for the unforgettable, almost fantastic adventure in the socialist paradise of the Caribbean, of a sale done correctly.
