| INCIDENT | Wed 28 Dec | ||
| HEADLINE | False advertising |
||
| Makro advertised Bobtail Dry dog food for R187.40 (25kg) There was no stock, no signs stating so and all staff were well aware of the problem. On questioning a store policy, they stated no rain-checks, which again is fine, IF there were appropriate signage. The biggest sign outside the store still advertised the promotion and all I got from staff was that there was an on-going problem with the supplier. I have since contacted both Makro and Bobtail directly. I felt my hand forced to buy another brand and false advertising and breach of store policy to correctly signage all stock availability led me to feel "had" by the big consumer. | |||
