Biggest car competition giver yet no transport for your female staff at night

Dear Shoprite SA

Each year you pride yourself in being the biggest car giver with your yearly car competition. Clearly you of the believe that customer first and then your staff. The reality though is that happy staff create happy customers who bring in happy money.

Please help me understand, how do you give away so many cars each year when you have female staff that finish off work at times at 21h00 and walk long distances to get home or catch a taxi to home. Your stores are located throughout townships and you the only major retailer that closes shop late night in the townships. We know the extend of violence that women have had to endure and to date your staff is the only staff among all the major retailers that walk at night on freeways and dark streets to get home. Yet each year you manage to give away cars to customers. Some of which already have their own cars.

To date, unlike Pic n Pay I am still to read up a story of how you guided a cashier or someone who packs groceries to becoming a shop owner. There is a lady that works for you in our street that has worked for you since opening the Jabulani shop and she's still doing what she did from day one. I am not asking you give your employees stores but I am questioning why you not assisting with the safety of your employees when they go home to their families? Why is this lady not on a bursary to someday be based at Head Office as the Group Attorney perhaps? I also know that development starts with the individual and this person is that kind of person whom given the opportunity can rise to the occasion.

Instead of only doing price comparison studies with other retailers please also do a study on the amount of crimes your staff experience on their way home relative to the other retailers.

Also do a study on success stories on your staff relative to the other retailers you competing with.

Should I be mistaken, please accept my apology.
