Lockdown made more difficult by Checkers

Went to Checkers Hillcrest corner today with my daughter of 7 as I am a single mom. I got told by the security guard that she is not allowed in the store and has to wait at the main entrance. When checking with the training manager shebsaid the same thing. Please tell me how in thos day and age we are meant to leave our children where we can't see them.. Absolutely pathetic. Thank you Pick n Pay for making it easy for me.
