A Cuban woman from Miami known on TikTok as Mulatacha (@vidaconyaliris) shared in a video the uncomfortable experience she had during a visit to a Walmart in the city, when a stranger followed her through several aisles in the store and asked for her phone number in a way that she found rude and disrespectful.
The creator was wearing her AirPods and talking to her best friend while shopping when she noticed that a man about 37 or 38 years old was following her.
First, she saw him in the candy aisle, then in the drinks aisle, and finally in the cookie aisle, where the stranger approached her directly: "Girl, where are you from?" he asked, before asking for her phone number.
When she responded that she was married, the man did not back down: "Oh, so you're married," he said, as Mulatacha herself recounts in the video.
The Cuban responded with humor and irony to brush him off: "Yes, and I also have papers to prove I'm crazy because the last time I came to Walmart, a guy like you messed with me and I stabbed him twice."
The strategy worked immediately.
"The man looked at me as if to say no, she's crazier than I am," the creator described with laughter, adding that the stranger walked away without insisting further.
Beyond the humor with which she recounted the episode, Mulatacha used the video to reflect on the behavior of some men in public spaces: "You can compliment a woman, but, my dear sir, where do you know me from to ask for my phone number like that and so rudely?"
"I really dislike men who are so forward," she added, before concluding with a direct message: "men need to stop."
It's not the first time this creator has been at the center of a viral story in a Walmart in Miami. At the beginning of May, the same Cuban touched the hearts of thousands by discreetly paying for the groceries of an elderly woman who didn't have enough money in the store, a gesture that sparked a wave of positive comments on social media.
The phenomenon of Cuban women sharing experiences—both positive and negative—at Walmart stores has become a recurring pattern within the Cuban diaspora in Florida.
The video by Mulatacha ends with a phrase that summarizes her vision of everyday life in the city: "here in Miami, there's a craziness that I can't explain."
