DISCREPANCIES AT PICK N PAY

PRICES AND STAFF TRAINING ARE LACKING AT THE TOWERS PICK N PAY IN LANGEHHOVENPARK IN BLOEMFONTEIN

FALSE ADVERTISING IS ALSO ALIVE AND WELL IN THIS SHOP UNFORTUNATELY.

FOR INSTANCE YOU WILL BUY BANANAS TODAY ON A SPECIAL FOR R13.99/KG. TOMORROW A BIG "SAVE NOW" SIGN SHOWS ABOVE THE SAME BANANAS BUT YOU ARE NOW "SAVING" AT R16.99/KG. SO HOW DOES THAT WORK?

A FEW MONTHS BACK I HAPPENED TO WALK IN ON A "ONE DAY ONLY" SPECIAL: 1litre CERES FRUIT JUICE. I HAD TO BUY 3 TO GET THEM AT R15.00 EACH.

WHEN I GOT HOME I SEE THEY HAD CHARGED ME THE NORMAL PRICE OF R23.99/CARTON. WHEN I WENT IN THE NEXT DAY TO QUERY IT, THE YOUNG MAN AT THE ADMIN DESK WAS "NOT SURE WHETHER THE SPECIAL WAS IN FACT THE DAY BEFORE" AS THE PRICE WAS NOW R23.99 ea THE WHOLE RACK OF FRUIT JUICES WERE WITHIN HIS RANGE OF VISION ?? HE WENT OFF TO "ASK SOMEONE" BUT I JUST GOT UP AND LEFT. NO BARGAINS FOR ME THE DAY BEFORE AND LITTLE CHANCE OF ANY REFUNDS. EITHER I LOST OUT, OR THE "ONE DAY SPECIAL" NOTICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED DAYS BEFORE.

PLEASE PICK N PAY, SORT OUT YOUR STAFF EFFICIENCY AND PLEASE DONT "BULL DUST" US WITH YOUR "SAVE NOW" SPECIALS. WE HOUSEWIVES KNOW OUR PRICES.

ON THE UP-SIDE, YOUR SAVINGS PER TROLLEY BEAT ANY SUPERMARKET ANYWHERE. SO CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT!
