Renato Reyes Shops at American Supermarket, Cuts Into Long Line of Shoppers

Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes Jr. was spotted shopping for groceries at S&R, an American Supermarket. But despite the fact that he paid for his groceries, the militant group leader was heard allegedly demanding to the cashier that he will cut into the line of shoppers ahead of him. At first, the cashier did not allow him but he insisted.

“Kami nga nagtyaga pumila, tapos siya akala mo kung sino na biglang sisingit. Tapos ikakatwiran niya konti lang daw yung groceries nya pero marami pala. Kesyo busy daw daw siya at meron pang meeting at iniintay na siya.” An unnamed netizen wrote on Facebook on Thursday, March 15, referring to Renato Reyes who tried to hide his face.

(We were patient waiting in line, then he suddenly cut in as if he’s somebody. Then, he reasoned that his groceries are only few where in fact, it’s plenty. He claimed he’s busy and that he has meeting to attend and a lot of people are waiting for him.)

The dismayed netizen, who is believed to have taken the photo of Reyes as he rushed to avoid the camera, added that the militant leader was alone. However, he (or she) noted that the activist bought American canned goods, bread, and bathroom tissues. He tried to ask the cashier if she knows who he was, and the cashier said, “Yes.”

“Sabi ng cashier, nung una daw, matamis ang ngiti nito sa kanya at nakiusap kung pwede makasingit sa pila. Hindi pumayag yung cashier kaso wala daw syang nagawa nung tinitigan na sya ng masama. P2,000 daw ang inabot sa kanya pero P1,012 lang ang groceries nya, at wala daw syang barya para dun.” The netizen added.



(The cashier told me that he [Reyes] smiled at him as he requested to cut into the line. But when she refused, but she had no choice but to allow him after he looked at her badly. He gave P2,000 to the cashier but his groceries are only worth P1,012, at that he had no enough coins for the P12.)
