  1. Yes worked today and English help was quick. As posted by asisis 800 numbers in Mexico only work for calls originating in Mexico
  2. Why? I paid US. taxes ..last year I spent thousands in the US and will do so again this year....what does it matter where I live.
  3. Are you saying Fresko (which was rebranded to LaComer) which Soriana bought in 2016 has ben re-sold since Soriana bought it?
  4. Nothing personal Probably the majority of stock is owned by Mexican investors. But for sure it is not 100% Mexican owned. The majority of Mexico's major publicly traded companies have international investors. Sometimes with controlling interests. Some Mexican companies have controlling interest in other countries corporations (ie Bimbo) We live in a multinational world when it comes to business. Heck Saudi Arabia just bought 8% of Carnival corporation. I get it that you like Soriana .But, Soriana Organizacion Soriana SAB de CV is not 100% Mexican owned. It is a publicly traded company. There are 1.8 billion shares issued. You can buy shares in the USA. Today's asking is $.75 a share. There are many investors from various countries that own shares in Soriana.
  5. Think you are right ..semana santa is normally federal - state - local government vacation.
  6. No offense..... The real question is why someone who was there just 10 days ago would want to leave lakeside to head to a city that has known infections (no one knows how many). We were told by the government to stay home unless it is absolutely necessary to go out. I would think someone could get buy for a couple of weeks with local purchases. More exposure = more possibility of transmission We need to change our ways for a while to save lives
  7. It's a publicly traded company. Walmart was founded by Sam Walton, and the Walton family owns millions of shares, over 50%, just as the founders of Soriana own millions of shares. They are both public corporations. People can hate any company. Logical or not. Imagine all the small mom & pop markets that went out of business when Soriana came to Chapala.
  8. Soriana looked good today with only one cashier. One correction.... Soriana is not any more family owned than Walmart. Soriana has a market cap over 2.1 billion dollars,. Stock is traded publicly. It operates Soriana Hiper, Mega hypermarkets, Soriana Super and Comercial Mexicana supermarkets, Soriana Express and Super City grocery stores, Soriana Mercado and Bodega discount supermarkets, as well as City Club membership clubs. It's headquarters are in Monterrey, Mexico.
  9. Isn't there still a Banjercito booth on the left lane just before the bridge toll booths?
  10. I would guess these factories are probably in free trade zones. They are called maquiladoras. The products are being assembled with parts from other countries that have never been taxed and must leave Mexico when completed. Example Bosch has a factory in Mexico that manufactures automotive electronic assemblies. If you are in Mexico and need the part it is imported from the US.
  11. This company under bid local competition by 40%. Arrived on time and moved heavy items upstairs as well. Great service. http://lakechapalamoving.com/
  12. No problem yesterday at Walmart. Some brands of beer short other brands plenty. Wine and liquor shelves full.
  13. Studies are trying different doses and combinations of drugs. I would like to see a 5 day study using Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg 2 times a day, Zinc sulfate 220 mg 1 time a day, and Azithromycin 500 mg 1 time a day.
  14. Are you using a Mexican carrier for cell service?
  15. Hobbys again Feeding my little friends Violet Crowned Corona Violeta that is practicing social distancing from other hummers
  16. I wasn't lashing out sorry if you took it that way. We all can find a way to stay home more. It is very easy.. Go to https://www.mitelcel.com/mitelcel/login Open an account. If you don't understand Spanish use Chrome as your browser and it will translate. Then you can add time to an Amigo plan or if you have a normal monthly billing plan pay your factura. Mitelcel will accept any Visa or Mastercard doesn't matter the country of issue.
  17. Actually the virus came from an alien astronaut who planted it in bats in China, knowing that bats like pangolins and would pass it to them so when the pangolins ended up in a wet market in China one of the centers of world population the virus would be spread quickly. Now that's a real conspiracy theory.
  18. And you could of avoided all this by paying your Telcel bill on-line at Mitecel. Please don't get me wrong I am not trying to bash you personally... Just point out we all need to change our behavior.
  19. Yes it leaves a lot to be desired. But while you are pointing fingers...... Maybe look in the mirror because at the same time you managed to expose yourself in 3 grocery stores, 2 pharmacies, and Telmex. 6 different exposures. Could you have gotten by with 1 pharmacy and 1 grocery store and pay Telmex on-line? Just food for thought, I am not meaning to bash you but point out we all need to change our behavior.
  20. Again sniping at me??? Must you always?? I sent you a nice PM and asked you to stop. Now I will ask you publicly. Please stop with your comments about my posts.
  21. 100% right . I have been doing so for years.
