The above cart was dumped off at our dumpster. Bodegon was called and they retrieved it.
It's not only shopping carts that can cost up to $300 but now there is a rash of car theft in Lake Worth Beach targeting Kias causing a lot of expensive repairs of those they attempted to steal.
My car Friday morning...towed to repair shop. Thieves broke back passenger side window to get in and tore apart the ignition system. Damage at $2,018 so far.

Bodegon, a Supermarket catering to the Spanish speaking shopper
Hey wait, this is the United States of America. People speak English here or perhaps they should if they are citizens.
In order to be a citizen, "you will need to show that you can speak and read in English. You will need to demonstrate your English skills at your citizenship interview. The USCIS officer who interviews you will of course address you in English, and observe how well you respond to questions and instructions. The officer will also ask you to read a short passage, and to write a sentence that he or she says aloud (dictates) to you."
I remember shopping in Bodegon when it first opened on Lake Worth Road at the Town & Country Shopping Center. It was only a few years ago. I had shopped at Publix there ever since that had opened. On that first visit to Bodegon, I encountered no one speaking English. Needless to say, I have not been back. Now I understand that they do have some employees who speak English.
However, is it possible that they are not interested in the American English speaking citizen as a shopper? Is it the ever-growing illegal alien population that they want to attract? Why would they have an insert consisting of two pages, folded, such as this in the Palm Beach Post printed all in Spanish? Why would they discourage an entire demographic?

Miami is here? Bodegon took roots

Everyone spoke Spanish. No one, other than the security guard spoke English; he is bi-lingual. I asked him who I would go to if I needed a question answered. His reply--"don't give them a hard time, they only speak Spanish." So, of course, I had to ask why they weren't hiring bi-lingual employees as this was an English speaking country. He said I had to ask the owners. I told him they were going to miss out on a large segment of customers but he said they were doing very well without them. That's when you know you are a stranger in your own country.
One of the requirements of American citizenship is that you must be able to read, write and speak English. America is a wonderful place, no doubt about it..
Supermercado El Bodegon
Bodegon opened Monday at the Town & Country Shopping Center at 1910 Lake Worth Road. I dropped in to see what was up. I spotted a check-out gal and asked if she spoke English. She gave me a blank look. I then walked over to Customer Service...more blank looks.Everyone spoke Spanish. No one, other than the security guard spoke English; he is bi-lingual.

Supermercados Bodegon Coming soon
Comment Up
Coming soon to the Town and Country Shopping Center, 1910 Lake Worth Road where the old Publix/Sabor Grocery used to be...Officials believe it will open within one month. So for all of you who love real Hispanic and Cuban food, this will be the place. Hope they put in a spot to sip Cuban coffee--I know a certain code enforcement officer who will appreciate that. And I hope they all speak English. They will be announcing their grand opening.

Bodegon Supermarket

Back in December last year, Sabor Publix closed its store. At the time, I called the owners of the shopping center, I.M.C. Property Management, to see what they had to say. I was assured that there would be another food store in that shopping center. Most of us who have shopped at that location for years, even decades, are looking forward to a new food store opening soon. As yet, there is no opening notice posted at the door.
