I was in La Sirena this afternoon when I noticed the woman in the checkout lane across from mine using some very different looking money. It was in the normal denominations of $100, $500, and $1,000 peso notes, but of a different size and colors.
Upon my buddy, who speaks Spanish and English, asking her about it, she said it was her Christmas bonus money, she worked for La Sirena.
The "Special" money can ONLY be used at La Sirena ofcourse.
So for those expecting to use the Christmas bonus for special items, they are S.O.L.
La Sirena reaps great savings by making the employees buy only at La Sirena. The cost to La Sirena of the merchandise is probably 50% or less of the selling price, thus in terms of expenses to La Sirena, they cut their outlay for employee Christmas bonuses at least in half. Pity the poor souls that wanted to buy something special or use the Christmas bonus for other things.
There is always someone figuring out a new way to screw the poor people of this country and increase the profits of the rich people.
Merry Christmas from the La Sirena Christmas Grinch.
Note: That is my personal interpretation of the events today..........
