****** at the hands of Pick n Pay PLATERKLOOF

<p>I wanted to withdraw (cash back) and suddenly your staff told me that I have insufficient funds. Can you imagine the embarrassment? The cashier announcing in a full store that I don't have money. I just did a transfer of the amount I wanted. I had to wait over an hour while they verified everything even though I showed them an SMS showing that the amount did go off. Is this how you treat your customers? Or maybe just the black customers must prove that they really have money and it belongs to them? Really disappointed in Pick N Pay. The amount of shame I suffered at the hands of your staff is really degrading. This is not the first time Pick n Pay has treated black customers unfairly. A few weeks ago a black artist published a video of Pick n Pay staff validating his details with the bank to make sure it was indeed his card. I feel so victimised. I had all the proof for them but still, they did not want to give me my money. This is a matter for Pick n Pay head office and not the branch. Imagine all the shame I experienced. The customers behind me had to go to a different till/ cashier because I had apparently bought goods and I didn't have any money so a supervisor had to come and void the transaction. Seems Pick n Pay does not want business from blacks. Maybe our money is not good enough. This happened yesterday (09/08/2017) at around 10 and lasted about 3 hours. 3 hours trying to prove that I really have that kind of money...</p>

Good day Mvuyisi,

Thank you for taking the time to write to us.

Kindly note that payment was declined by your Bank. Unfortunately we can not approve a transaction that has been declined.

A withdrawal can only be completed once the funds have been approved by your Bank.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Kind Regards

Anwar Mooideen

Reviewer Update

Please do not be ********. Why don't you want accept the blame for this mess? What steps did you follow while you conducted your so called investigation? I will tell you what I did.

1. I showed your staff in the shop an SMS confirmation of the money being paid to Pick n pay platerkloof.

2. I showed your staff in the shop the before and after balance of my bank account.

3. I have proof from my bank that the transaction was successful.

Can you please tell me what you did? Please Dont tarnish my reputation because of your lack of customer service and care. I am demanding that pick n pay makes this right. You will loose a lot of customers if you don't own up to your mistakes and fix them.
