Posts: 4055I can explain without bashing. There are two main reasons the lines move slowly than what gringos are accustomed to. One reason is technology (the lack thereof) and the other reason is culture. You hinted at the technology factor when you mentioned puntos. Exito does the same sort of market research based on collecting buying history from customers as other big retailers. The difference is Exito doesn't have up to date technology that enables customers to quickly swipe a loyalty card to identify themselves. Instead, cashiers have to manually key in the loyalty program number of every single customer both before (puntos) and after (movil Exito) they ring up the purchases. Some customers don't remember their punto or movil Exito numbers, so they have to give the cashier a phone number or cedula number to look it up. When customers redeem coupons or store credit receipts, the cashier has to stop the line and scan them one by one and sometimes call for a manager to complete the transaction. All this takes forever.
The culture factor is the one that is least likely to change anytime soon. Very quickly, the things that cause the line to move slowly that you don't see in developed countries are customers who leave their carts smack in the middle of the small space where people on line behind them need to pass to get their purchases on the checkout belt, people who use the checkout clerk as a price scanner to decide whether they can or want to buiy some or all of the items in their cart, people who decide they don't want some of the items or want different items who then leave the line to look for what they want while everyone else has to wait until they return so the cashier can complete the transaction, on top of all of that most customers will engage the cashier in small talk about the weather, current events, their physical ailments or whatever else that has nothing to do with buying groceries. This is especially true of older customers who sadly don't have much other human interaction. That last one about older people is something you also see with building doormen. The older building residents spend a lot of time socializing with the doormen because they are always available and can't ignore them.

Posts: 93Yeah, just something for you to read
I'll never understand why the line in Exito always take forever to check out people. Everytime I go, even with people 2 or 3 items in their hand will sometimes takes 30 minutes to check them out. I noticed it takes longer when those people used their "puntos". The cashier looks it up on the computer which take about 10 minutes and additional 1-2 minutes to print the receipt. You will never see that in US LOL.
Now before you bash me, since this forum has so much negativity LOL, I'm not complaining at all. Even waiting on the line for that long, I get to see beautiful paisas, who's most of them on their gym clothes after working out or pre-work out buying groceries. Just had this paisa girl right in front of me who's got a really nice toned body, great shaped ass, a well made tits, nips poking out on her bra, curvy waist and big hips. I'd say she's on her early 30's. About 5'3 height. I'd give her a 7 on the face and 8. 5 on the body. Definitely just finish her morning workout bought a 300 k worth of groceries (mostly healthy stuff). I had the opportunity and the 2 old senior citizens behind me, blessed with the awesome view for 30 minutes.
I was about to pull her a "Hola, como estas? "Realmente creo que eres hermosa", "Tienes novio? Then I realized, I do not want to draw any attention from the locals, me looking like an Asian guy (Extranjero) on his mid 30's. I'd rather keep everything on the low especially the situation now in Medellin LOL. Even then, I still have 2 dates lined up for tonight so I don't feel bad at all for that missed opportunity.
Exito, never misses. There's always a beautiful women everytime I go there. I fucking love this country.
On the other hand, when the cashier ask me for "puntos", I just simply say "NO" so I don't hold back the line.

Posts: 6Short time hotel is safe?
Hi,
Is it safe to go to a short time hotel with a street walker close to Botero Plaza?
There is gem sometimes at this place.
I do not want to bring them to my place riht away, so I prefer to do that way and then if the girl seem "ok" after two or three meets, I'll bring them to my flat.

I am a real traveler and have been in Medellin for 8 days now.
Tip. A fact that no one who hasn't traveled to Colombia will know. Colombian women make a snake sound when calling a man Tsuuu Tsuuu.
Fish pictures are parque exploar folks, don't think of the giant aquariums in the US or Europe. These aquariums are fucking tiny, never go to them. It's no bigger than one "section" of an aquarium in the capital of a western country I apologize for only having 2 pictures of Chika. I never sneak photos. Many chikas don't allow photos.
I'm in Medellin and I'm really grateful that people here have helped me, and I'd treat you to a meal if we could meet (I don't drink alcohol.

Why should I pay at the same rates or even higher than what I can get at home for good talent?
So in my case, maximums of what I'm willing to pay when I arrive in Colombia might very well be a bit different compared to other tourists just because of where I'm from. This will be especially the case between those of us coming from Canada (especially Toronto and Montreal) compared to our friends from the USA. That's why we end up seeing many of our American friends especially from the northeastern states come up to Toronto and Montreal to monger.
These forums are helpful in trying to find what the middle grounds might be down in Colombia.
