Shopping at a grocery store in Bolivia

This morning I went to the Rodriguez market for shopping with my host family again. This time we got things more like grocery. It was really interesting to know how they shop at a grocery store. People point out and say what they need to the people at the shop, and then they just run to get the stuff without thinking for any moment.


Since there is no casher machine at the shop, the people at the shop started making a list of what we got and the prices. Then my host sister also started making another list for herself to check if they are not cheated, which is my understanding tho.


Here has another custom I have never experienced. People hire "carriers" after they shop. The "carriers" don't have any other job except carrying stuff from stores to cabs. The pic below is the carrier man we hired, who is wrapping our things with a big cloth.
