Last week, we were walking near a Bicentenario (large, government-run markets offering products at reasonable or friendly prices) and saw a number of people walk out with cans of milk.
Hey, look! said my partner, whos always on the lookout for these kinds of things, as though she were the one from Cuba.
When we went inside the market, we were somewhat disappointed: there wasnt a single can of milk left on the shelves, even though purchases are restricted to one can per person.
Someone said to us: Stay close to the chekout counters. When one person tries to buy two cans, they take one away from them and you can have one of those.

Standing in line ahead of me was an elderly gentleman who had left his home early in the morning to go shopping at the opposite end of Caracas and had to walk a very long distance to get his hands on some milk for his granddaughter (the childs father could not take on such a journey, for he was bed-ridden, recovering from a gunshot wound).
While we were talking, a man arrived, stuck his hand into a pile of bags of bread on a shelf and found a can of milk. He darted off with it, in the direction of a check-out.
The people in line immediately reacted.
