In Argentina a lot of people get their income from running small shops. These shops are not like the regular stores we have in Canada. Often the items are behind the counter, and you must ask the clerk for what you want. Somtimes they have a very small room for you to shop in.

Each shop has their own specialty. In spanish a bakery is called a Panaderia, a tire shop is a Gomeria, a fish store is a Pescaderia, a meat shop is a Carniceria, an icecream shop is called Heladeria and so on.

Something I find very strange but is necessary for safety is that when you go into a small shop the door is locked. You have to ring a doorbell and they will unlock the door for you. Then again when you leave the store they must unlock the door for you.

These shops are not the only stores they have though, they also have supermarkets and malls similar to ours.
