A BIG FAT THANK YOU!

<p>Dear Nando's</p> <p> </p> <p>I'd like to say "THANK YOU" - I have been a fan of your since the 1980s, and now, more than I ever, I wanted to thank you for what you've done.</p> <p> </p> <p>Due to your need to increase prices so lavishly and quite franky, perversely, I'd like to thank you as follows:-</p> <p> </p> <p>1) Thank you for encouraging me to cook more food at home, and not buy food from Nandos. It's SO much more worth it. I can buy a whole load of bread for the same price as you charge for a small, little bun.</p> <p> </p> <p>2) Thank you for being a real life case study for my kids - I can easily explain how a SA company (ie Nandos) can go from great to terrible - how? by forgetting their roots, focusing on international business more than SA, etc.</p> <p> </p> <p>3) Thank you for being yet another case study of what happens when a company doesnt listen to the "voice of the customer" - you spend millions revamping stores so often. For what? Go and ask a customer whether they would prefer a big fancy store with enlarged prices, or a simple, decent, store with modest prices. Go figure.</p> <p> </p> <p>4) Thank you for kicking all us South African's in the teeth. I hope that your profits sink and your bright sparks who come up with all this mumbo jumbo realise that this is all simply about GREED.</p> <p> </p> <p>With unkind regards and good riddance,</p> <p>Now officially, your EX CUSTOMER</p>
