TOPIC: Something about the USA / Atlanta that surprised you.

First time I went shopping here was really different for me. First at all, you take everything by yourself. If you like something you have to look for the size, number or color that best fit you. There is people at the store who can help you in case you need it, but is like a support. In Venezuela, when you go shopping you can't take anything. For example, if you go to a shoes store and you see and like ones, always is going to be someone who is there to look for the size or color that you want, because all items are inside in an unaccesible place for costumers. Furthermore, the stores here are really big and they are like multiples you can find shoes, clothes, home stuff, toys and many others. Usually in Venezuela you have one store just for clothes, another one for home stuff and it is like work around there. Eventually they have gone changing the vision and now we have some department stores incorporating to the existent market. Another thing that really surprised me is you can return what you buy just with your receipt. In Venezuela is not to easy, the most of the store don't accept returs and if they do it you have to change it for another item from the same store. Of course, I love to go shopping here and when I go to Venezuela I don't like to go shopping because there are many situations that annoy me.
