Charged double for goods

<p><strong></strong></p> <p>Dear sir/madam,</p> <p> </p> <p>My wife and I live 4km’s from Cape Gate shopping centre and visited the CNA store there on Friday 2nd September at 18:00.</p> <p>We purchase a couple of items and while waiting in the queue for a couple of minutes we finally got helped by the one open cashier, the other cashier as busy cashing up.</p> <p>While waiting to be helped we each grabbed one chocolate namely a Aero and Flake.</p> <p>We paid for all the goods and headed back home.</p> <p>When unpacking the CNA bag of goods my wife checked the slip and saw they double charged us for each of the chocolates.</p> <p> </p> <p>My wife immediately phoned the store an notified the manager on duty (GAVIN) and told him I’m on my way back to the shop.</p> <p>When I arrived back at the store I explained to the manager and also told him he can check the surveillance camera to see we just bought one of each of the chocolates.</p> <p> </p> <p>Then manager the without saying a word took the slip and walked to the back of the store and entered a staff room.</p> <p>He made me wait almost 15min at the counter not even explain to me what he is about to do etc.</p> <p> </p> <p>When he eventually returned to the counter he just mention the footage is not so clear but he can only see one of each chocolate.</p> <p>Then he started typing on the till.</p> <p>At that stage my patience was up because he made me wait with no warning and returned not even by saying sorry for the long wait or inconvenience.</p> <p>I asked him what he is doing he said he is busy doing a refund.</p> <p>I told him I don’t worry about the money but it is more a principle issue to me.</p> <p>If we didn’t checked the slip CNA would have gotten away with ****************.</p> <p>I told him ill rather take the 2 chocolates which I already paid for and also ask him what he is going to do to compensate me for my time and loss because he almost ****** me, wasted more than 30min of my time and cost me 10km of driving up and down.</p> <p> </p> <p>He responded he can only refund the money or give me the 2 chocolates…. I told him I’ll take the chocolate I paid for but ill lay a formal complaint.</p> <p>When he heard about the complaint I’m going to lay he then mention something about he will give me 20% discount on my next purchase.</p> <p> </p> <p>I responded and said no thank you and left the shop with the my chocolates.</p> <p> </p> <p>Please give you feedback on this unacceptable incident that occurred.</p> <p> </p> <p>Till slip available on request</p> <p> </p>

2 days after the reply EDCON phoned...

They said i can get a 20% discount on my next chocolate purchase limited to 2 chocolates.

I told them this doesnt make up for my time and loss ant that she must tell her manager that he can keep his 20% discount.

I'm not putting my foot in a CNA ever!
