A Cuban resident in Nebraska shared on social media the reasons why she didn't like certain things about Miami, particularly the treatment she received in several stores where she went shopping during her visit to the city.

In a video posted on her TikTok account (@yai_lent), the young woman revealed that one of the aspects that bothered her the most was the attitude of some Cuban employees at supermarket chains like Presidente and Sedano’s.

“Hey, the Cuban women treat you poorly when you go to Presidente or Sedano’s. It's such a bad attitude, as if the store belonged to them. They seem annoyed to serve you,” he said. He recounted that on one occasion he asked to see some perfumes, and the saleswoman displayed a rude attitude while showing him the products, seemingly upset by his request.

According to her account, she also experienced an uncomfortable situation when she approached a register she thought was open and was rudely reprimanded by an employee: "She said to me, 'Don't you see that the sign says it's paid?' I was taken aback... I hadn't seen it."

The Cuban compared that experience to the way she claims employees behave in stores in Nebraska, where she currently lives. “The American women are extremely decent, very polite, and they treat you with tremendous delicacy,” she expressed.

"I love Miami, but these were the little things that I really didn't like," she concluded in her video, which has garnered thousands of views and mixed comments on TikTok.
