a
Milanese sandwich for only $1.50 in Tucumán

exceeded the capacity of the Ope's store
that offered it and quickly ran out of products to sell at the price agreed upon by the promotion.
The complaints and claims multiplied until the scene
reached its peak of violence
when a man who was trying to get his place in line stabbed the 20-year-old young man.

took his number
and injured him in the abdomen and the victim had to be taken to a medical center.

“The boy was no more than 20 years old and he was saying that if they didn't give him another number
he would call the police
,” the witnesses said.
“He calls the police, so we can also
get rid of a problem
,” responded one of the local workers, according to what the
El Tucumano
portal reconstructed .

line began to extend in the early morning and the tension grew
, even with the presence of children, young people and adults. .
According to what was advertised,
there would only be sandwiches for the first 50 to arrive
and
payment
had to be
with 1 peso coins
and another 50 cent coin.
As reported by the Noticias Argentinas agency,
the discussions
over privileged positions
began to escalate
and the employees of the place themselves had to ask for calm.
"People, how are you? Is everything okay?" a man from the store came out to say and a woman responded
"everything is bad
. "
That sequence of harsh weather was recorded in a video posted on TikTok.
