A Cuban woman shares her surprising experience with security measures at a Latino supermarket in the U.S. on TikTok.


A Cuban shared an unexpected experience she had in a Latin supermarket in the United States. A moment that left her speechless, according to @mayle871003 on her TikTok profile.

In the video, the woman recounts that she had made purchases at another store and entered the supermarket with some bags in her hand when she was approached by the security guard.

"The one who guards the door comes up to me and tells me to follow him. He takes me to the control post. I felt like I was in a 007 movie," she said, surprised.

The guard checked the bags and informed her that she had to leave them at the supermarket's checkpoint. “He assigned a number to my bags and gave me a tag to identify them when I leave,” she explained. This security measure surprised her, as she said, “That has never happened to me in all the years I've been in the United States." Despite not living in Miami, the Cuban noted that the incident occurred in a Latino supermarket, which she found curious.

The reactions were quick, and some users commented on their opinions about this practice and shared similar experiences: "We seem to be there, but we are here," "I don’t let them check my bags, I tell them it’s not necessary, I’ve lost my desire to shop," "They still haven’t started the blackouts," "I’ve been here for 15 years and I’ve never seen what’s happening now at the Ross store. They asked me for my receipt and looked at my bag, it’s awful," "I’m leaving there and I’m never coming back," "Now all that’s missing is the supply notebook," or "That has been happening for years in Miami."
