Price gouging.

Good day.<br> Because your check out is so protracted and slow, I am forced to audit your merchandising team.<br> Simba offers nik naks in two sizes:<br> 20g as the smallest, and 55g with 15g free from Simba as stated on the packet.<br> <br> Pick n pay sells 20g for R1.50 - this is R0.075 per gram and R75 per kg<br> The 55g package is 5.69, if the 15g was free (which it is not) the price would be R0.14225 per gram and 142.25 per kg.<br> Instead pick n pay has taken the simba free offer and sold it and made the price R0.*** per gram and R103.45 per kg.<br> <br> This is false advertising and terrible merchandise analystics on behalf of pick n pay and simba. <br> Any fool with a calculator and half a brain could wipe the floor with your merchandising team and you use standard Supply Chain Analytics tools!!! For shame! But then, if you've ever had the misfortune of standing in a pick n pay queue, you'd understand you were there to be *****ed, and *****ed hard.<br> Simba, you aren't getting off this one lightly either I am copying this complaint to your team as well...<br> <br> Maybe simba and pick n pay can get together and gouge on more products, perhaps I should go review all the prices.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
