In another post, he reveals that the security guards even checked it and realized that nothing had been stolen; however, the employee continued to insist.
I wish they would train their workers better. Do not buy there if you want to avoid bad times. If your employees keep answering the satisfaction surveys that are for customers, they will never know the real user experience @BodegaAurrera @WalmartMexico

It should be noted that in the conversation there are a couple of tweets that support the consumer’s version, stating that the attitude of the Bodega Aurrerá employee was not the best.

When we talk about discrimination, the issue becomes much more serious, since it escalates into human rights violations. A few months ago, one of the Churrerías El Moro establishments was accused of discrimination.
A consumer denounced on Twitter that she was denied access to the El Moro Churrería because she had a guide dog with her; However, that was not all, since, according to what she reported, in addition to access, they also refused to provide service when a client offered her her seat on the grounds that two people could not be together.
