Illogical Lottery/Money Market queue merge

On the 1st Feb 2012 I visited Shoprite in Jabulani mall, at around 19:45 to make a Computicket purchase and was met with a single long queue to the money market kiosk.

Most of the customers were queuing to play the LOTTO, I then inquired if I should join the same queue, and was told that I had to.

I then went to the managers office to ask about this ILLOGICAL, SENSELESS way of operating and if they can't at least split the queues, to which the response was that they "don't split the queues up when it's BUSY, [they] only split the queues when it's NOT BUSY" because the LOTTO customers will complain about people jumping queue. There is only ONE Lotto machine to the many Computicket terminals!!!

Where is the sense of having a bottle-neck system that clearly doesn't work??

Needless to say that I did not use Shoprite's service because of their senseless methods!! This LOOONG queue system is also used at Shoprite Pimville square where I had initially went to but could not bear the SENSELESS LOOONG wait. Needless to say that I had to drive between these two establishments!!!

I am VERRYY disappointed by this, and the continued APPALLING service Shoprite so EXCELLENTLY offers.
