DOES PICK N PAY PERSECUTE PENSIONERS?

As pensioners we all appreciate whatever help’s available, right? That includes Pick n Pay’s 5% pensioner discount on Tuesdays - but there’s a catch….unless I’m being singled out pensioners pay MORE than the advertised prices! Here’s proof! Two days ago I bought 5ltrs of Sunflower oil at the advertised price of R159.99, a box of Long Life milk at the advertised price of R89.99 and 2 jars of peanut butter @ R39.99 each. However, at the till I was billed R170.99 for the oil. R94.74 for the milk and R64,18 for the butter! That’s a jump on the actual shelf prices amounting to R19.95!! Here’s the rub…..when I complained about this I was referred to my “pensioner’s discount” which, I’m assured, is in some way responsible being just in excess of the overcharge mentioned! So there it is…..unsubtle persecution of pensioners offering a phantom discount! Check your till slips….I do, and find Pick n Pay’s “mistakes” are NEVER in your favour - pensioner or not - Tuesdays or not! BE ALERT:
