SPEEDING TROLLEY JOCKEYS
WOW!! I shop at many Checkers stores. The Checkers60 service is a great idea but if one is shopping in the store/s oneself, one might be hit by a Checkers60 employee. I have experienced this in almost all the Checkers branches I have shopped in and that is several because my job takes me away at times. However, yesterday I was shopping at Rock Cottage in Weltevreden Park / Randpark Ridge JHB (not sure which area it falls under) and I had to stop a woman using her trolley like a skateboard skimming through the shoppers and using her feet as brakes. I was gobsmacked at the outright disrespect for the rest of us. I spoke to her and she began to argue and then flicked her braids and continued as normal. The women in the meat department seemed most annoyed that I dared to say anything. I mean who am I but a customer right?? Guys I am a fan. I am happy that this service not only exists for "our" convenience but that it provides employment. Checkers needs to manage this team of speedsters and prevent a potential lawsuit from an injury that could occur and also from potentially losing custom. The attitude and aggression from the speeding trolleys in the stores is untenable as well as disrespectful. I get that they are trying to get as much in their trolleys as possible due to the 60-minute timeline, but here is a thing called common sense and it is not common. Use this, don't use this!! I took the time to share. There are other shopping options. Checkers is not the boss !!!! On another issue I would like to commend the security guards who man the stores. Most efficient and polite. At Rock Cottage I met a man named Andries who was extremely caring and actually commendable. Diane
