Pick n Pay Boksburg Towers really unhelpful and rude

Pick n Pay Boksburg Towers is really getting worse in terms of customer service. Well, I guess they don't know what it is. They have a butchery but man they don't want to cater for any requests. I requested the Buther, Mr. Carlos to cut the Chuck steak - Bone in into stewing pieces and his response was a flat NO. As per his Manager Mr. Etiene that cannot be entertained. I said I will pay the money for the chuck steak plus any charges for cutting. A small request but they cannot do it, what a shame. I had the same issue before with them and PicknPay Towers manager called me and said that they can take requests like this. So, everything remains the same and as a consumer who has been shopping from this place for than 15 years this rudeness of Butchery Staff and the Butchery Manager's firm NO has left a sour taste in my mouth. I must say this also has to do with the management/ownership change that happened recently. It's sad to see places like this really go south and to a certain extent when you look around you see a similar trend of lackluster customer service and rudeness everywhere which is now trying to brush off the econominc growth of this beautiful place.

As for me I will try my best not to set my foot in this establishment and I have many options. The big PicknPay in East Rand Mall are always happy to help with any Butchery request, guess they have a helpful Manager there. And there are more than half a dozen shops that sells the same things. So as a consumer am sorted. My only advise to PicknPay Towers, especially the Butchery department and to Etiene is to try and help people by providing a better customer service. Smile more, the world is a beautiful place to leave on :)

Thanks Pick n Pay for the reply.
But I would like to know what's PicknPay's policy wrt butchery request. Is it against your company policy for me as a customer to request the Butcher to cut the Chuck Steak bone into pieces. I am ready to pay for the original cost,ie for chuck bone steak along with any additional costs. World around butchers are ready to take requests like these or does PicknPay and especially your Tower's Boksburg branch have a different poliy. Could you please clarify on this as am now confused?
And again what's the point in having a Butcher if he cannot take a simple request as cutting chuck steak into smaller pieces as I prefer this cut of meat for making my dishes rather than using the stewing beef because it's full of fat.
Why have so many red tapes everywhere????
