Embrassed I front of store by security because you explicitly FORGOT to pay for an item.
After paying for our groceries we walked out and security stopped us at the door, requesting to see the slip he informed us that we didn't pay for an item. We had a 2 year old with us so it was a bit chaotic in store, my partner had accidentally put an empty hot foods packet in his pocket while trying the testers in store. Anyway after insisting that it was by fault we went back to pay for it. To which we were informed we can't just pay we MUST see the manager. The manager was confused and said we just need to pay for the item at the till as it was a MISTAKE. We presumed the matter was handled after we settled the bill of R30. We walked out the store again where we were met by the security of Checkers liquor store. He then accused us of being REGULAR *****S apparently and said we were no longer allowed to shop at CHECKERS. Mind you he was shouting at us, telling my partner that he will be "handled" if he steps foot in store. Imagine the horror that my 2 year old son had to endure witnessing this Big Man go off and some female security giving background chorus AFTER everything was handled. It was so Embarrassing and uncalled for

Checkers Langeverwacht – serious ongoing food safety issue (certain fridges not cooling)
We drive about 30 minutes to shop at Checkers Langverwacht (Kuilsriver - Cape Town), but I’m now at the point where we sometimes walk out and shop elsewhere because of an ongoing food safety issue that has not been resolved. The fridge next to the cheese section at the food deli (the one that holds the fresh sandwiches, puddings/mousse and similar ready-to-eat foods - I have photos of the fridges to show their location) is repeatedly not cold and feels like it’s running at room temperature. This is completely unacceptable for perishable foods. Items such as sushi, chicken mayo sandwiches, chicken samoosas, beef vetkoek, and other ready-to-eat products cannot be stored at room temperature without posing a serious health risk. Even more concerning: the sealed cold salads stored in this same fridge often puff up like a balloon. That is a major red flag that something is wrong with temperature control and food safety. I have complained multiple times and have personally taken both the foods manager and the store manager to these fridges to show them the issue. To make the point, I even picked up a block of cheese from the properly working fridge next to these warm fridges and had the manager hold it to feel the clear temperature difference. Despite this, nothing changes. This needs urgent action: fix or replace the refrigeration immediately, verify correct temperatures, and remove any high-risk products until the cold chain can be reliably maintained. Customers should not have to worry about getting sick from ready-to-eat foods bought at a major retailer.
