Nothing fun about devious Pick 'n Pay

In-store banners proudly proclaimed Pick 'n Pay's Ratanga Junction Fun Day promotion - for one day only: 14 March 2015 - just R50! Responding to the promotional flyer I'd brought home, my partner purchased two tickets on 13 March 2015.<br> <br> Nowhere did it say that the promotion ended BEFORE 14 March. Moreover, what possible justifiable administrative reason can there be for ending a promotion PRIOR to the day of the promotion itself, other than deliberately catching consumers out?<br> <br> Pick 'n Pay misrepresented their position - conning an extra R72 out of us - and charging us for the R86 half-price ticket and NOT the advertised R50 promotion rate for the 14 March Fun Day we duly attended.<br> <br> A shameless and transparent ploy to generate extra revenue from people who would otherwise never have attended.<br> <br> A 30 March call to Customer Care was met with disinterested stonewalling by an operator so clueless she had to phone Head Office!<br> <br> Well, I hope the R72 is worth the bad faith it's generated and our abiding distrust of any future promotions.<br> <br> Ordinarily I'd contact them directly and privately but this deserves a public airing. Shame on you Pick n Pay. I'm disgusted by your devious dishonesty.
