the supermarket was expropriated in 2010. see the video in the link.


Globo vision entered the instalation together with the workers which was one of the most complete supermarkets in the south of the country, and corroborated the claims of the workers: most of the shelves were empty.

Janeth Diaz, a shopper, affirmed: "This is not market for shopping, there is nothing here. What are they hiding? Before, we shopped for everything at Koma (supermarket), today there is nothing. This government has some good things, I am not with the government or the oposition, but it must be recognized that whatever the government expropriates dies."


Globovisión entró junto a los trabajadores a las instalaciones del que fuera uno de los hipermercados más completos del sur del país y corroboró las denuncias de los trabajadores: la mayoría de los anaqueles están vacíos.

Janeth Díaz, consumidora, aseguró: "Este no es un mercado para uno hacer sus compras, aquí no hay nada. ¿Qué quieren ocultar? Antes uno venía a Koma y compraba de todo, hoy no hay nada. Este gobierno tiene cosas buenas, yo no estoy con el gobierno ni con la oposición, pero tienen que reconocer que lo que expropia el gobierno muere".

1. I'm surprised this hasn't been commented on.

This is not a good thing for workers. It's bad enough to get paid in bonds, it's worse when you can't even buy anything.

2. well, lots of people who post here are content to see this sink to the bottom

in defense of the administration, it could be a supermarket directed towards dieters.

3. Many also believe

That it's ok if everyone has zero, because at least then they are equal (excluding the party hacks). Cuba is an example of this belief system.
