Extremely disappointed with Checkers Hyper at Westtown Mall.

I purchased oxtail from this store on Sunday, 25 May, expecting to treat myself after a long week. Unfortunately, when I started preparing it, I found hair on one of the pieces. I tried to brush it off and continue, thinking maybe it was just an accident. But as I kept going, I realized nearly every single piece was covered in hair.

This is absolutely unacceptable, especially for a product that costs nearly R100. In the end, I couldn’t even eat it — what a complete waste of money!

As a working student, I rarely splurge on something nice, so this experience was especially frustrating and upsetting. Checkers, you need to seriously improve your quality control. I would like to know what you plan to do to fix this or compensate customers who end up with inedible, unsanitary products.

Not impressed at all.

They have still yet to reply to my email.

Reviewer Update
I honestly was not expecting to be writing in again about this specific situation however I am very pleasantly surprised by checkers Hyper and their butchery. Lunga reached out to me to make matters better they were so helpful and expressed deepest apologies. Accidents can happen and I am just glad they made it right!
They reached out and gave me a piece of meat to make up for it, which was better than the first.
So thank you to Lunga from Checkers Hyper Westown Buchery!
