Shoprite Checkers poor service

Once again I had to call your local Shoprite at the the Castle Centre about 2 complaints which would not even havwe been one if the second one did not happen because i am so used to your packers' poor client service.
I quickly ran in to buy just a couple things then while I was there I remembered other things to buy. Now I had a basket trolley and there were very few cashiers (again). When I got to the till I was asked if I need a plastic bag and I said yes, then the cashier said how many, to which I replied "honey you're the cashier how many do you think I need" and she rang up 2 which was correct. I had purchased a 10kg Mealie Meal bag and miscellaneous other items. The packer packed up the stuff and even though she could see I am an old lady of nearly 70, she left me to carry, my handbag clinched under my arm, 2 bags in the one hand and the 10kg in the other, not getting a trolley. POOR TRAINING AND CLIENT LIAISON.
Getting to the door my slipped was checked with me holding the slip with the 2 bags so the security to check my purchases. THEN... the next thing a young black man came up to me started to just grab my things out of my hands and I told him to leave me, then came the whining about how hungry he is and I sent him off with a flea in his ear while being stared at by black cutomers as if I am the problem. I was robbed at gun point in my house and beaten up severely so I don't like when people storm onto me as I have trust issues now. When I called the shop 013 231 9600 after a second call because the first was dropped - eventually a Nelson came onto the line. He told me that outside the doors is not Shoprites problem, but this incident took place at the door, next to the security. If you look at Checkers in Lydenburg it is such a pleasure to shop there, but Burgersfort have 3 and each of them not to the standard that they should be. Cashiers don't greet you, not friendly and will talk to others whilst serving you as a customer. Shoprite seriously need to look at the training of their employees in this area. It's not a pleasure to shop here. We are their bread and butter but are treated with arrogance, maybe because I am white.

Shoprite Checkers ken (an employee)

He was working on something else. There was a cart with grapes on it. I started to look at them, trying to chose a bag go purchase. While my daughter and I are looking at it he yanks the cart away. I said I was trying to grab grapes, it will take me less than a minute. He said, I got work to do. I said well you could have at least been courteous enough to let me know you were taking, you saw I was looking for grapes. He said I got work to do. I said well aren't you putting the grapes out for customers? He said I got work to do. I looked at his name tag and told him that he was wrong fir treating my daughter and I like that. He laughed.

Shoprite Checkers nutri kids

Dear Sir/Madam
We simply love the Nutri Kids milk product for 3 years and up for our 3 year old twins but cannot readily obtain it at the store, Checkers, Fairbridge Mall, Brackenfell where I do my shopping.
I am in luck when I find it on a shelve.
Today I was at a dentist with the twins and paged through a magazine of January 2019. I was shocked to find that you also have a mixed berries of Nutri Kids range!
Can you please ask Checkers, Fairbridge Mall, Brackenfell to: 1) ensure that the Nutri Kids product is readily available.Currently there is space for only 2 boxes containing 6 x liters each whereas the Parmalat product can be found on about 4 shelves. 2) to obtain the mixed berries range of Nutri Kids milk.
Thank you.

Shoprite Checkers disgraced and offended

Bazeleacke Williams
Dear Reader
Hope that you are well.
As a client of your popular shop today I was deeply disgraced by your personal.
On the 07/07/19 05:20 I bought groceries of almost R2054 food and 2electronic goods a straightener and haidreyer was among the things I bought.
On Sunday I tried out my new blowdyer and find that it doesn't heat up the hair like its suppose to. I left it and used my usual old blower.
I send my father in-law to take it back to your branch Paarl Huguenot 02187753.
Where my father in-law took it to a Mr Shane Karkee he the spoke down on my father even leaving my father to stand and wait for him while he chit chat to other staff before returning to my father and informing him that maybe I'm putting the blow dryer on 1 and not 2 and that he can't return it.
My father then came home inform me about what happened. I then went to your shop and asked for the guy that spoked to my father Mr Shane Karkee the lady at the tilled called him 2times telling him a customer awaiting on him he now having a really dramatic attitude towards me.
I then inform him regarding what my father said, I told him I used a blow dryer per instructions and that the heat is not what it is he then put the dryer in the plug blowing his hand and then a Mr Dries NRL also now coming towards us asking me to relax they'll help me but he don't have any idea what happened now this Mr Shane Marked show him on his hand the heat and Mr Dries Nel now telling me (maybe you need to get a blow dryer for R1000 for better results) is this now how shoprite is degrading, female clients I feel offended by your staff.
If I wanted to buy a dryer for that price I would buy it but its not my first time buying Ottimo products from you.
I then ask Mr Dries Nel your email address where upon he said look on your shoprite bag there is a number numeral times I asked for email address because he don't know you shoprite head office email address is this the service you portray to clients.
I'm deeply deeply hurt an offended by your staff.

Shoprite Checkers harassment at work

Good day I Would like to lodge a complain aGainst Ms Julies the sales manager of Checkers Capegate I am an outsource, merchandiser at the store and cant work with this woman I have alot op principles to attend to but she feel the need to insult me every chance she gets infront of other staff members and because shes a manager and im new im not allowed to be rude back with her. The thing is im a grownup working for my child so i dont need such unfair treatment im just there to do my job she's pussing both me and my colleague to the point where we feel like hitting her to teach her a lesson and how to treat other people with respect we do not care about what the consequences will be as every one is to afraid to take a stand against her there are atleast 10 people who also have issues with her but are to afraid to come forward cause they are afraid of being chased out of the store . We are gonna take this matter further if someone doesnt put this woman on her place as we all have human rights and dont need it to be violated on a daily as it makes it unpleasant for us to work in this store especially the groceries department.

Shoprite Checkers safety for us shoppers

A Family friend was on his to to visit us when 6 guys at Shoprite Cravenby tried to Rob him. They waited outside for him so that they can take his belongings he obviously called my husband and was safely collected by him. This is not the first time people are being robbed at Cravenby Branch, there are 4 securities at this store outside patrolling and yet people just get robbed over and over and over again.

You the management of Shoprite need to make sure your customers are safe when shopping at your store and have a peace of mind to feel safe when entering and leaving your store .
You will obviously not do anything about this ...
but at least I will know that others are reading this and see that you should not shop in this area cause there's no saftey for you .

HOPE TO GET SOME TYPE OF RESPONSE

Desperately Seeking Saftey For People In Our Area To Shop And Not Get Mugged.

Will Await A Response Though

ARE YOU GONNA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ?

Shoprite Checkers beef steerling burgers

Good Morning

To whom it may concern,

I am so disappointed, I bought monthly grocery's on the 25th. On the 3rd of June, I made the Burgers for supper. immediately my husband said something taste sour. My 8 and 12 year also mentioned it on their fist bite. Eventually I took a bite, and it taste like old meat. I took the burgers back last night, I spoke to the manager. I also took the burgers that I made so she could taste. She just looked at it and ask of I want another box or my money back which I took the money back for the burgers. No apology nothing. I kept my Kids at home today because to stomach cramps. If it gets worse, I will take them to the doctor.

So all I'am asking for Shoprite to refund my slip attached, So I can take my kids to the Doctor.

Shoprite Checkers health of food in store

This morning I was in our local Shoprite to get a few things and when I went to get some meat, there were birds all over the meat, which is terrible because their nails were digging into the wrapping, which means that they were touching the meat and there were no staff around doing any thing about it.

I have attached a video of it on this complaint.

Shoprite Checkers spinach

At USAVE SHOPRITE at Jeppstown I went to buy spinach there only to find out it's rotten it's normal, then I asked the cashier Khumbulani Nsele who apologised about the situation and he called his superior when the guy came he said there is nothing they can do. I suggested that why don't they reduce at least the price in that way customers will be aware that they see the spinach is not ryt. I told them I will come back to see if there acted on the situation, when I returned they removed some and left behind the other one. I told them I will take a picture though I didn't take it at first because they said they will remove it. If I took the first picture before I complained to you would swear that that spinach they took it in the bin somewhere, it's wasn't supposed to be in a shelf. So in the second scene they did not reduced the price thought Sthe spinach was still not right they said they removed the worse. The guy told me I am not allowed to take the picture in store? I told him I need evidence he h swear at me, saying I must understand that the spinach came in the morning they have to sell it otherwise it would be a loss to them. I even asked if they would have sell that spinach if the shop was situated in the CBD where customers know what's right for them, he didn't respond. Instead he asked me where I am working? I told him he said no wonder you know too much rights. They must be careful of what they are selling to us, I told them I will lodge a complain he said I must carry on. Are we in Jeppe supposed to eat rotten food because of our level of leaving? If they carry on with selling rotten veggies I think we need to report the matter beyond.

While I standing on the queue she was busy to her friend at the same time taking her time while saving customers and when I got to the till her mind I was not even there. I paid for my groceries and she gave me 1 bag that was not even enough for my groceries. I was surprised when I saw her scanning the next customer's items and putting them next to mine. It's like she was doing us a favor by assisting us. I was busy putting my card in my purse the man's items were pushed next to mine. After assisting the gentleman she told the next person coming to log in that she will sell me the 2nd bag
