While I was finalizing a purchased at "Bodegón Del Sur" the owner an Argentinian man yelled over my shoulder:"SEÑORA, QUÉ SE METIÓ EN LA CARTERA!" The owner's accusatory tone of voice was harsh and disrespectful, implying a certainty of the accusation of theft: "LADY, WHAT ARE YOU STEALING!"
The owner's failure to apologize only worsened the situation, as he continued with the same tone of voice and arrogant defensive manner: "ESTOY PROTEGIENDO MI NEGOCIO" ("I AM PROTECTING MY BUSINESS").
The lady customer was mortified, infuriated , and proceeded to empty her small purse values onto the counter in protest, asserting her innocence and gave the Argentinian owner a piece of her mind: “How dare you accuse me of stealing! I am not a thief!”

I know its a family owned business and they make up the rules and the prices but Awful customer service. Awful communication. And if you don’t have food items available anymore take them off the menu. Will not...
Read moreIn Argentina, the idea of a bodegón refers to a gastronomic establishment whose menu consists of traditional dishes at affordable prices. These places are not known for sophistication or elegance, but their main attraction is the food quality. If you are looking for Argentinean products, El Bodegón del Sur has the most authentic and representative ones: empanadas, alfajores, sandwiches de miga, yerba (mate), and all kind of local food. Some of them are home made. The place has the look and feel of a traditional argentine bodegón, and the business is owned by a very proud family. I highly recommend it if you are looking to buy some...
