Picknpay customer service 0/10

Customer service levels at picknpay branch level have definitely dropped. I shop regularly at their Mulbarton branch in Johannesburg and nearly every time one or more items scan wrong at the till .A few weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon, over a thousand items incorrectly read R 1.00 on the shelf ( digital prices ) and at the till and they were quick to announce repeatedly over the store intercom that it was a head office error affecting stores nationwide and it was being addressed and customers must please not demand or believe that the R1 was the actual price . I unfortunately was stuck in that check out queue for 2 and half hours as each customer had to have their checkout individually rectified by a store supervisor and that was after they had closed the doors to prevent more incoming customers. Anyway when I got home I checked my till slip and found I had been incorrectly overcharged, which after two hours of phone calls and two visits to the store I managed to get the goods returned and refunded in full . That occasion both head office customer service and the store supervisors told me they would rectify the faults . So imagine my happiness when this past Monday and yesterday again the same goods ( which are advertised on special promotion ,one I might add has been ongoing for the past few months ) we're once again charged at the normal higher price ...both Monday and yesterday and the response both from the cashier and the super was as if I was an inconvenience and this wasn't the only item incorrectly scanned , items on their pamplet/brochure ( a 5 liter sunfoil oil advertised for R 165 - shelf price R 235 ) Being scanned at R 235 and the response when we said it was wrong...' let's see the date on that ' ,hey they sent it to me on their picknpay whatsapp group ,besides hard copies at the store entrance...and really ? Are your staff not up to speed with the prices ? Am I the first customer to of purchased that item this week? Or am I one of the few to query it ? And we were told weeks ago this overcharging on the promotion items would be sorted..so how many customers have been overcharged and not noticed or bothered to go back

Reviewer Update
So I got a WhatsApp message last night saying they could not use their phones due to load shedding ? And they are addressing the problem and somehow it seems it was a mistake because I didn't use the correct procedure with the smart shopper card and an brief explanation on how to use it ? Really ? And then I explained in detail that it was not the case but the adverti*****t and scanning incorrectly....what's their response? This morning I get a notification that my complaint has been resolved and closed ....yeah!
