Bad attitude at Pick 'n Pay Campus Square
The staff at the Campus Square branch are extremely rude and unwilling to assist in general. There are more people standing around, holding hands and having their own good time, than available pay stations or assistance on the floor. Even the Manager (supervisor) on duty doesn't care much.

Yesterday customers had to wait in line while an employee took her time paying and chatting to the cashier on duty and the customers were ignored. Worst of all is the employees have bad attitudes when customers dare say something.

This is just 1 instance, these type of scenes happen daily in the specific branch.

The 'fresh fruit and veg' doesn't last long and sometimes it smells bad in that department, that looks chaotic most of the time.

Overall stock disappointing. It's a pity that the area is only serviced by 1 Pick 'n Pay in the area!

Stay away from Pick 'n Pay
My husband went to the pick n pay in Steeldale yeesterday to purchase a few things. There were three full heavy bags in total. The lady who packed was Nombuso, My husband told her to please put the good in the trolley, she told him that he must get it himself. He came home very disturbed and told me that it was the first time that he had a problem with bad attitude at Pick n Pay. He told me that he asked for the manager and was directed to Zodwa. He told her the problem and she then asked him what must she do. He then told her to sort her staff out. She told him that he must sort it out. I phoned Zodwa who denied any of this. She said that Nombuso told her that she could not get a trolley because she was watching another customers packets who left it with her. Now that's just great cos let we all go shopping and ask Nombuso to watch it while we attend to other shops. If the company's values is that the staff is passionate about the customer, this would not have happened. Basically this is a total contradiction. It seems the staff and the manager do not have customer skills. We will in future proceed to purchase our goods at Checkers. I will take this to the media.

Crazy prices & disgusting food
I have so much to complain about with regards to Pick 'n Pay Hypermarket Norwood Mall.I have been shopping there since I was a little girl but lately I have alot to complain about.Firstly if you buy a ready made meal it is because you have no time to cook & expect something nice.I bought a big portion of your ready made chicken curry from your deli & sat down to eat it for dinner.All there was, was chicken bones, skin & fat blobs, I was & still are disgusted & the price was blady expensive too.I bought a pack of cinnamon buns that came with a caramel sauce, the date was still right, they were as hard as rocks & extremely dry that even the caramel sauce could not help the dryness, I ended up throwing them all away, they were terrible.How come Woolworths have their own brand of decaf coffee which is R29-95, goes off the shelf for a while as they are out of stock & need to get the coffee beans.It comes back onto the shelves a couple months later at the exact same price of R29-95 but Pick 'n Pay's prices go up daily, it is really ridiculous at the way ur prices just keep shooting up & you are ripping us consumers off who hardly have any money! I am so angry & dont want to shop at your store!

Imagine how other customers get treated if I get treated like this
I complained abt Pick n Pay a few weeks ago about being charge in correctly and there attitude, well they did come back to me and had advised me to come to the store and collect a voucher by the Information desk as organised by Collin Belinda 10092009 Saturday I went there and Guess what No envelope was left. So I called Belinda on Monday we made arrangements for the weekend, I called on Friday just to make sure I don’t waste petrol. Guess what I get there on Sunday18102009 and the CSM was not there who is suppose to give me the envelope, to worse things up the Information desk lady still had decency to say I was supposed to come the on the Saturday with attitude, how dare she tell me that if she know nothing? I don’t want anything from Pick n Pay Boksburg. I’m done now with that store. It just shows you imagine how other customers get treated if I get treated like this. I dont even want a respond as they JUST tell Lies and give bad service...

Stay far away from them
Why do we have to pay for fresh food you presumed is cooked today and yet it must have been cooked yesterday. I went to pick and pay steeldale as I have always found them to be the best out of the pick and pay's in the South for cooked chicken, I bought 3 chicken they are so dry you cannot consume them they even have a floury taste its so over cooked its shocking to think you have to pay for something that is that bad wake up Pick'n'Pay I bought them as it pays me to buy cooked chicken it saves on the electricity bill and I also had people for lunch and a meeting.

I am so angry as this is not a situation you want to get into when you have people.

I have not seen such shocking poor service in a long time
In an effort to get all the products at once when I do online shopping through Pick 'n Pay's site I spent around two hours requesting certain products to be loaded. A day later I received merely three e-mails from Keegan that the items were loaded. When I went on the site a month later to finalize my list some of the products were still not loaded. I contacted them asking why this was the case. The excuses were feeble and ranged from that certain stores only kept certain stock and I had to contact them to stock it. Keegan is plainly rude not even checking what he loaded is the correct items and taking absolutely no initiative to solve any problems. Glade air freshener - clean linen is still not loaded and I truly do not understand how a store that is suppose to stock nearly every item (seeing that it is a Hyper and an online shop provider) still does not have it loaded.

I have not seen such shocking poor service in a long time. Seeing that Pick 'n Pay offer nothing more than Checkers it is maybe time to move.

Pick 'n Pay's label said the weight was 750g and the manufacturers label stated 600g
I was in the Hyper at Ottery last week. There was an announcement over the public address which said that prawns were going cheap. They were ringing bells etc. I had already been at the fish counter and wanted some fresh fish, yet the counter hands just stood looking at me. I was the only person there, so I thought, just move on, they are not interested. When I heard the announcement, I went back and took 4 packets. When I wanted to cook these I noted that a sticker was placed on the top of the manufacturers label. Pick 'n Pay's label said the weight was 750g and the manufacturers label stated 600g?? I await an explanation!

Stay far away from them
I went shopping on Sunday at Pick n Pay Hypermarket Princess Crossing and after paying for my purchases asked the teller if I could draw money, she duly said yes and attempted to assist me. Again I am sad to say that PnP has taken my money and not returned it, this is the second occurance albeit they advertise that this option is available.

Now apart from the incompetent supervisors available at the store I am currently short an amount of cash which I would like returned to me, seeing as though it does belong to me. I was asked thrice to enter my card detials on the machines and was told each time the transactions were cancelled, according to my statement two of the transactions went through (on different machines) and both amounts were deducted from my account.

I await a response from Michael Olivier from PnP as apparently he represents the office of the CEO, the last time I spoke to him it did not go well as he made me feel as though it was my fault and was very blatent in admitting it in his mail response to me. Thankfully I sorted the last incident out myself with the store in question.

About 40% of the items that I picked, I couldn't find pricing for
Went shopping at Pick n Pay. About 40% of the items that I picked, I couldnt find pricing for. Then I had to search for someone to help me. Then I was made to wait about 10 minutes for a price for one specific item. This was unacceptable. My shopping time could have been less 30 minutes if labels were correctly placed and staff was within a close vicinity in their departments.

Misleading prices at Pick 'n Pay
I shop at the Pick 'n Pay in Rondebosch, Cape Town almost everyday. For the past few months, I have noticed that their pricing system is very bad and that their placing of labels never correspond to the respective goods. I wonder if they do this on purpose as it almost always happen with any goods ranging from their open shelves to their fridge section. I would be very happy if somebody at the Pick 'n Pay store would deal with this problem as it is very irritating to never know their prices. Maybe they should consider putting a price scanner for their customers to use - a similar system to the one found in Checkers and Woolworths in Rondebosch.
