Pick 'n Pay at Midway Mews is a disgrace!

<p>This store is going from bad to worse and is an embarrassment to the Pick 'n Pay brand.</p> <p>On any given day, I defy anyone to go there with a simple shopping list and get everything on that list. Empty shelves will await you, with the most basic ingredients missing. </p> <p>When you can't even get simple things like lemons or butternut, or coleslaw mix, or even hotdog rolls, and complain to the management, you get a shrug of the shoulders and an attitude that just shows you how little they care. </p> <p>The list is truly endless and I'm not exaggerating here, it's virtually every single day. </p> <p>We invariably have to go up the road to Spar to fill our grocery list, and every time we ask ourselves, why didn't we just go there in the first place?</p> <p>The one exception at that store is a manager called Fazil, who will always go out of his way to help you. He honestly deserves somewhere better. </p> <p>I have a wide circle of friends in the Midrand community and every single one of them refuses to shop there, all of them calling the store an absolute disgrace. </p> <p>I have been shopping at that store since 1999 (before it even became a P&P) but since new owners took over a few years ago, it's been a frustrating experience. I have now reached the end of my tether with them. </p> <p>This morning there wasn't one packet of Peter Stuyversant Blue of any denomination. Not one. This happens with such regularity it's a joke. </p> <p>My wife bought chicken fillets this afternoon and as soon as we opened them, we were hit with a horrible odor. She returned them, only to find that every single packet of chicken fillets in the store was off!</p> <p>Their explanation that they were expecting a power failure and so didn't put out fresh chicken, was the most bizarre I have ever heard in my life!</p> <p>She took her refund, and yes, she did what we do so often, finished her shopping at Spar. </p> <p>I'm not sure what control PnP has over its franchisees, but it's not doing its job with this store. </p> <p>How this place carries the name "Pick 'n Pay" above its doors is beyond me. </p>
