Francisco is a latino man with shiny black hair always combed back and a thin mustache. He always wears a polo and jeans to the store. However, he does wear a soccer jersey occasionally. He always has a smile on his face as his customers walk in and he greets them and tries to have conversations with many customers.
When the front door opens the smell and setup make it exactly like a Mexican store. Just like many stores in Mexico and perhaps most of Latin America La Sabrosita lacks space. The first thing you spot is the checkout counter full of beauty products, a few candies, and calling cards. On the other side of the counter the other half of the store catches people’s attention.
Right next to the door an ice cream freezer can be found full of mexican ice cream pops and to the right of the door a freezer full of sodas and juices can be seen. Passing the ice cream a white metal stand full of candies and many different types of items can be

The quality and scarcity of products make people want to get more. Products can be found at La Sabrosita that can’t be found in big stores like WalMart, Walgreens, and Safeway. On top of having good products, La Sabrosita has lots of friendly workers who also try to make people feel comfortable in the store. Having services that help the community comes in handy. The services that La Sabrosita offers are very difficult to find in other locations. Latino based stores are very successful in towns where the most of the population is latino.

    To experience a local aspect of Hispanic culture I visited the Tienda Mexicana La Guadalupana, a grocery store in Chapel Hill. Once inside, the term that came to mind when looking around was bodega. The store was small, but made clear use of its space, with items on the walls, shelves, and even the ceiling. This is in contrast to most “American”, or english speaking, grocery stores I have been to, as they are often wide and spacious, with plenty or room to showcase products. They commonly have bright lights; light, colorful walls; ads and signs everywhere with directions and promotional deals; and music playing over loudspeakers.…

    Spanish Fantasy Essay

    • 857 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Chicano/a/xs in the United States experienced racial discrimination through regional segregation, marginalization in suburbia, and construction of a selective fantasy past. This relationship between space, cultural citizenship, and race relations were apparent in the unequal opportunities and the marginalization Latinos faced in racialized suburbia. An imagined Spanish fantasy past was constructed through mission revival and Olvera Street in Los Angeles that placed the Mexican people and their culture in the past. It was implied that the only place for them in modern day Los Angeles was in the past, supporting the belief that the Mexican immigrants in the present were not a part of the Los Angeles community and were just a temporary workforce in America. This further emphasizes this racial segregation they faced from the Anglo community who constructed a physical…

This allowed customers to walk around the shop at their own pace but shop assistants were around if help was needed. There was also a shop assistant positioned by the changing room area to get different sizes and help customers with their choices. It did seem like the number of employees in the store was excessive with regard to the size of the store and the number of people visiting. However, they helped create a warm, friendly and helpful environment and ensured that if help were needed, a customer would be attended to immediately.…
