Panama City Q&A

I'm a British expat living in Panama City, and I've noticed that some Panamanian service staff, particularly women, can be quite rude and unhelpful, especially in local markets and shops. I've tried being patient and polite, but it seems like they're often put off by my presence. I'm looking for an explanation for this behavior.

I'm an American retiree living in Panama City, and I'm looking for advice on what to do after a job interview was cancelled due to an earthquake. I had already prepared and invested time and money in the process, and I'm feeling disappointed and frustrated.

I'm looking for a good garlic sauce to keep in my fridge, but I haven't found one yet. I'm currently using Kraft Mayo Garlic Alioli from Ribasmith, but it doesn't quite satisfy me. I think the garlic sauce from sandwich qbano or the fried empanadas sold on the street might be better.

I've heard that during the pandemic, motorizados for Pedidos Ya could make up to $3,000, but I'm not sure if that's still the case. If someone knows how the business works and how much they can earn, please explain.

I've heard that Panama City has a lot of job opportunities, but I've also heard that they can be hard to find. I'm planning a trip to the city and I'd like to know how quickly I can find work.

I'm a 7-month resident in Panama City with my partner, currently setting up a home. I've applied to multiple positions at Nestle and received an interview for a role that requires more experience than I have. I'm anxious about the interview and would like to know what to expect, how to prepare, and what makes a successful candidate.

I'm still waiting to hear back from a company in Little Italy after four interviews. What's the highest number of interviews you've had with a company before receiving a rejection letter?

I've been with Tigo for a while, paying $37 for wifi with 100 MB and $23 for data. However, the prices kept increasing, and I ended up paying $26 for data and $44 for wifi with 500 MB. This year, I lost my job and had to cut expenses, so I cancelled my data plan and stuck with wifi. I recently got a new job and a salesperson from Más Movil offered me a data plan for $18. I'm considering switching to Más Movil, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max with 512 GB storage and 84% battery life, but I think I'll change the battery when it reaches 80%. I want the change to be as original as possible, with an Apple battery, good sealing, and everything recognized correctly by iOS, because I want to resell it later in good condition.

I'm applying for a job at Foundever through Konzerta, and I'm looking for some insider info. I have experience in the insurance industry and a C1 level of English, but I'm nervous about the call center aspect. Can anyone who works or has worked at Foundever tell me what the project is like and what I can expect from the interview?

I've seen prices at Dairy Queen, Pricesmart, and food trucks. The hot dog at Pricesmart costs $5.99 with fries and soda, which is more expensive than a cheeseburger combo at McDonald's and the Pricesmart coupons. It's just a hot dog with sausage and bun, and it's gone up so much. I've been avoiding processed meats for a while now, but I do buy chorizo instead of sausage occasionally.
