Shoprite Checkers Poor customer service

I went to Shoprite on the 24th of Oct to purchase a lotto ticket at about 17:16 and I stood in the queue for approximately 20min and it was not busy and there was no cashier to assist at the lotto booth. I then asked to see the manager in charge and went to her to complain that it was unfair to me as an elderly person to wait for so long with out assistance whereas the store was not busy. She then rudely told me to wait again as the cashier was coming , I asked her for how long I should wait again, she kept on eating an avocado and seem annoyed and not to care about my complaint. She didn't have a name tag on and refused to give me her name. I then asked the security personnel to give me her name bit they seemed reluctant as she was near by. I was assisted 20minutes later by a cashier who also didn't have a name tag.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology and staff should be accountable for their actions.

Shoprite Checkers Special on sunday 15th october 2023 at brackenfell checkers hyper

This is not the first time I travel all the way from a small town an hour an a half away for special advertised and when I want to buy at your checkers in brackenfell it is out of stock before special even begin. Besides time and money for a manager to say sorry we were busy we are out of stock is unacceptable. You must be prepared for large crowds or at least compensate for the fact its outbof stock not a customers problem. Where is the service. They were fast and quivk to get rid of us and brush it away as just sorry thats how it is. I wanted specifically the cheese of 99 rand and chicken braai packs on special

Desired outcome: To provide me the product at the price advertised by either a coupon or somethimg

On October 5, 2023, at 8:05 pm I was in the deli dept waiting my turn to place my order, there was 1 customer before me. While I was waiting, the black male with the face mask over his beard finished with the female customer, he walked away. Then 2 white male deli workers came from the back, all three deli workers stood there talking to each other. I stood...

Shoprite Checkers Wrong pricing and poor customer service.

I have been shoping at this shoprite for a year now and every month I experience more expensive products packed under a product that on special and at the till point you pay more then eat was advertised...specially chicken and frozen vegetables. Stickers are put up that state if you swipe you chopper card you get discount but it's not so when you get to the till. Staff members keep conversations while customers are waiting to be served

Desired outcome: To be fair and honest and transparent with transactions and better customer service.

Shoprite Checkers Bad management at shoprite/checkers meadowdale

I went and bought my groceries at your meadowdale branch on sunday. Now normally i will stand in the queues unless it is very long as i am special needs. This sunday the queue was almost by the entrance and i was feeling dizzy, i spoke to a staff member who told me to go to customer care and they could help me there. I went there and asked to speak to the manager who eventually came, well i tell you i have never been so put down in my life. I explained to her that i shop there every month and the previous manager told me if im not well i.must go to customer care and they will ring up my stuff. This new manager due to her not knowing my history i told her i have arthritis in my joints and i have had a knee replacement and could not stand in long queues. She looked at me asked me how much i had which was a full trolley, her attitude was we only do baskets here. So i said ok well direct me to a till and they can do it there she says no thanks she doesnt want any other customer shouting at her for pushing me in. I asked her then why are you a manager if you cannot help me. Her reply was nothing. She made me feel like i was to blame for my illness and that i had no place even been in your shop let alone trying my best to live a normal life. One of the other staff helped me at the customer care counter. Your manager just walked away as if she had no business been around me. She actually made me feel like a leper in the branch. I have never felt so out of place in my life. I spent alot of money monthly at that branch...

Desired outcome: I want an apology from the branch manager and internally for her to be dealt with.

Shoprite Checkers Arrogant branch manager

I was at Kanyamazane Shoprite today around 11 today when I requested a lady short and chubby for some assistance regarding a certain product, the response I got from her she said she's the branch manager not a shelf packer so she won't help me. I should look out for shelf packers not her she's too busy. My shopping experience was not good I quickly went out of the store.

Desired outcome: I would appreciate if you'd talk to her and remind her that we're customers, we are the backbone of the business without us there's no business

Shoprite Checkers Service

My name is Thandeka Nzaka

On 9th July 2023 l went to Shoprite money market Botshabelo mall, to purchase a flash voucher and an Intercape bus ticket for 12 July 2023 and of a return too. My ticket is for Botshabelo to Pretoria, on the ticket l realized that it's stated Bloemfontein instead of Botshabelo, the lady who assisted me, by that time she was busy on a call with her personal cellphone call, while help me. I was assisted by Portia Lethoko.

My complaint is her not giving me full attention on listening to what l was requesting, and therefore entered wrong place of departure.

The following the 10 July 2023 l went back to her, to asked for the rectifying the mistake made on my bus ticket, she was unable to assist me, and lastly told me to go to Bloemfontein to catch the later lntercape bus from there,

I stay in Botshabelo and cannot go to Bloemfontein to catch the bus l booked for.

As she checked on the system, she said the the Botshabelo ticket option was not available that's why she booked Bloemfontein, but today tells me the the Botshabelo option is now reflecting surprisingly, yet she blames me for the ticket she booked.

The issue to fix the ticket told me that it showed the cancelation fees, the tickets costed R750, that l have paid, by she showed me the refund process will give out R289, and that l should keep the tickets and make plan to get to Bloemfontein I order not to loss the money l paid in for the tickets.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology

My family bought General Chicken and Broccoli Chicken. Everyone gets diarrhea. We are get better the next day. I wish owner should pay more attention with products. The chicken products might be exposed outside too long and we saw chef also not hygiene. When back yesterday and try to talk to the chef but no one can speak English. A bit disappointed.

Shoprite Checkers The Admin Manager Shoprite Vryheid

I'm hereby complaining about the Admin Manager Mr. Ndlovu, Mr. Sangweni at Vryheid Shoprite. I have sent couple of emails, but nothing has been done, Mr. Ndlovu is treating the Front Staff like he is in his he don't know how to speaks to the Staff.

Shoprite Vryheid have lost many Staff Members because of him, that means he was brought to this Branch to dismiss people. Is this because he don't have mistakes. People are working without given their 1hour lunch because of shortage and the shortage of Staff caused by him. All these people that have been dismissed are breadwinners they have families to take care of. I'm appealing to the Shoprite Executive to take a look at Vryheid Shoprite. Controllers need to undergo Customer Care and Supervisory Training because some of them they treat Cashiers the way they like.

Shoprite Checkers Product (Cake ASSRT R79.99)

I purchased a Cake ASSRT at Shoprite at the Burgersfort mall today the 18th June 2023, Tax Invoice Vat NO. [protected]. The cake was build up of large layers of cream and extremely small slice of the cake.

The cream in a cake is only serving a purpose of a sweetener, a large layer of cream is not beneficial to me as a buyer and for that reason I allege that Shoprite is violating some of my rights as a consumer and has not met my expectations satisfactory as a consumer. I would like the shop management to assess the cream used in my cake whether it meets the required standard for consumable goods(in the category of cakes), according to the republic's sugar level regulations. Provided the content of cream supplied was for waist only.

Desired outcome: I am asking for management to determine if the cake was designed according to the starndard, by looking at the pictures I will attach. If not, I am asking for another cake of the best quality.

Shoprite Checkers Checkers hyper eastgate mall

Poor customer service by a Branch manager Vincent L
Lavan Services
to customercare
1 minute agoDetails

I have a checkers business card as I am in business
I decided to go to the checkers at east gate mall as I was in that area and I took stork magarine
I got to the till and the cashier said its six per customer and I asked for tge manager to explain
Vincent the branch manager came ansd he was very rude and was not willing to listen (please check viseo footage on the 10th of May 2023 between 12:30 and 12:40
I showed him the checkers business card and told him we are not buying on a personal capacity and he told me he is not going to allow me to buy the magarine
I usually shop at checkers at waterfall corner and Mall of Africa and they are always willing to listen to understand and assist me; this was not the case with Vincent, a lot of rudeness and the only person he listens to is himself
Please do advice him that in future he has to listen to the customer and understand why they are buying amd if he is not sure he should ask head office because this is a totally different scenario, what is the point of me having a checkers business card if I cant use it, this is such a huge inconvinience caused by an ignorant manager
