Shoprite Checkers Ill treatment and rude behavior by a manager

On Thursday late afternoon 20 April 2023 I went for shopping at a Shoprite in Hammanskraal,which I have shopped at for the past eight years. I got very pressed emanating from bladder problem. I humbly requested a for a toilet, a young gentlemen took me to a lady called Tebatso who said she is the shop manager. I humbly requested to use a toilet, she very arrogantly responded by saying "I won't give you a toilet." I tried to negotiate because of the prissiness I was going through. She kept responding rude and arrogantly saying she can't allow me to the toilet.

I asked if I should leave the shop and go, she said she does not care that's not her shop. I was very devastated by the fiasco I experienced at Shoprite.

Desired outcome: Disciplinary action on their employee and capacitating her on customer relations.

Shoprite Checkers Chicken mayo roll

Good day

I am hoping you are well, I bought the product stated above in Shoprite centre Atlantis. I got food poison and spent 2 hours in the toilet naked and very sweating and my stomach was grumbling having a runny stomach.

Today I went back to the store to file a complaint with the manager but the way he handled it is very unprofessional also not sympathising with the matter at hand, his only concern was the slip and the product but not the health of the customer. I am very sadned about this matter and I can not continue to shop in a store like that. The health of the customers comes first, my kidneys are paining me and I am very weak.

Please attend to this matter, because food poison is not a joke and why spend money at the market only to make you ill.

Date of incident: 16/04/2023

Thanks

Desired outcome: Improved deli catessen

Shoprite Checkers Deli butchery and bakery food

Maokeng mall is selling expired food of which is not good. They should always check their food. If things are about to expire they should remove them from the shelves and give customers healthy and fresh food. I once bought lamb chops which were expired again bought Russian and chips that were also expired and now again I bought cake with ultramel that's also not in a good state. They should stop selling food that out of date to people

Desired outcome: Take off expired food from the shelves and make sure they check their shelves daily.

Shoprite Checkers essential combo's

09:05 am

04/03/2023

Good day, all

i am very upset with going to a store where the products are not available and where i have to turn around everytime.

i feel that if you dont have the products stocked up then dont advertise the combo's, today shoprite didnt have the golden cloud flour available, yet they still awaiting on the flour. In the week they didnt have the yoghurts available as advertised on the combo's as well.

This is freakin sad it cost me loads of petrol to drive up and down. i normally buy these products to donate to the church and this is a very abrupt situation. I even spoke to the manger and all he can do is saying that they awaiting on stock, no customer skills are shown not even a negotable level is taken up. i am this far upset for the Shoprite situated in Avonwood.

i would like some compentation out of this consistent un reliable products.

Shoprite Checkers Concerned staff member unhappy with favouritism

I've been employed in the company for a long time and value my job and position, however I'm disappointed that you have new staff who in the verulam dsc, because they have a relationship with an operation manager have favor over us,from being able to have time away to be granted differential behaviour because of there relationship with an operation manager, dissapointed because I have regarded my job in ShopRite as important and merit the company based on performance yet a new employee Lisa Jhugadesuar has been allowed privileges because she entertains one of the operation managers this isn't the company I joined and I hope that it's rectified.

Desired outcome: Fairness and justice

Shoprite Checkers Rude and unfriendly cashier

Good day

I would like to lodge a complaint about a rude and unfriendly cashier at the Money Market in Checkers Southgate by the name of Marriam I didn't get her Surname as I was angry and disappointed with the service that my mother and I have received for her, she clearly did not want to assist us and it was like we were disturbing her and it is the second time my mother has received the disgusting service from this lady, on the pervious occasion my mom wanted to have money loaded on her Shoprite card as she previously worked for the company for 27 years which she has since retired she was rude to my mother and in a very disrespectful manner she tells my mother that she must swipe her own card because that's not her job to swipe her card. I don't know what her problem is but it seems she doesn't want to work anymore, if she continues her stinking attitude the company is going to be losing alot of customers please can this be resolved as soon as possible

Shoprite Checkers Security search

Good morning

I went to Shoprite Bela Bela on 28/12/2022 @13h17 As I was leaving the security guard grabbed my bag that my husband was carrying and started searching through it. He had no search warrant and had no right to touch my parcel without my permission. He then demanded my receipt, did not check it against the items in the bag and went on to stuff it into the bag instead of returning it to me. If Shoprite is going to abuse the clients in this way at least teach the staff manners and the correct way to deal with the public.

Please address this matter with the store. If you are going to do security checks, please go about it in the correct manner.

Regards

Desired outcome: I would like an apology and the staff to be trained in manners and the correct method of dealing with the public

Shoprite Checkers No trolleys available to do my shopping.

Good afternoon,

I do my monthly shopping at Checkers Shoprite, find it difficult because there are no trolleys available and if there is then you have to battle to push it. I could not do my Christmas Shopping at Shoprite as there are no trolleys.

You get people in front of the door with other shop trolleys and want R20.00 to use that trolley which is fraud. The Securities are afraid of these people they just stand do nothing about it.

The area is Richards Bay.

You will lose a lot of customers because of no trolleys.

Thank you

Shoprite Checkers Bad Service, Bad Attitude and lack of Empathy

My experience at Shoprite Pretoria North was awful. I went at the money market to pay for my policy and instead of getting service i went back home feeling belittled, angry and felt less of a human being.

I was alone at the Que at 13:20 on Sunday 04th December and Ofenste Ramaswe was not willing to help and kept frowning looking at me for about 15 minutes. I asked for service and she began to indicate that I should be waiting on the que as she was busy cutting her nails. we only got service when l told her that l will write a complain to report her.

I feel people with such an attitude do not deserve to work and it indicates laziness.

Desired outcome: Warning

Shoprite Checkers Potato Fries

Good day

It's been over six months of going to various Shoprite branches and not finding potato fries. This has caused an inconvenience in my life as a loyal Shoprite customer. My son insists on having fries in his school lunch and this hasn't been possible because of them being out of stock. Rite brand fries were the most affordable and in the economic situation that we are all in I'm sure you would agree with me that this is a financial setback. Recently even other brands are unavailable and there is not set explanation to clients or even an apology.

Shoprite Checkers Service

I was at Shoprite Cloverdene on the 25th of November 2022 to get cash from M number so I didn't receive any good service, cashier by the name Sindy was very rude and impatient. She gave me attitude. I had left my ID in the car so I asked if I should get it from the car her response was 'father god' then rolled her eyes on me. I spent more than 30 min with no help because she required the name of the person who sent me money I told her then requested the Surname of which I was not too sure about. Then I tried to call my mom to assist she kept on talking with attitude. She was too forward, poor customer service and she didn't even have a solution for me when I asked which steps to follow for me to get the refund.

Shoprite Checkers Policy payments for Channel Life

A mother of a deceased son made payments through Vosloorus Shoprite Chris Hani Mall (South Africa), we presume that payments failed since beginning of 2019. The insurance policy lapsed sometime in 2019, only to realize now when she submits a claim in July 2022.

EasyPay: [protected], Ref No: [protected]

The branch manager is not interested in helping with payments details for the last 2 - 3 months and claims that he doesn't have head office and customer care office contact details.

Desired outcome: We need payment data as from Jan 2019 to date so we can submit to the insurer (proof of payments)

Shoprite Checkers withdrawal of monies

I have gone several times these past months to several different Shoprite and Checkers outlets where I wished to withdraw money from the cashiers. 9 times out 0f 10 I would be told that there is no money. Why advertise at every till point that customers can withdraw money but no money available.

Please remove those notices from your till points as this is misleading.

Desired outcome: I would appreciate a response as to how this can be resolved as we waste time standing in long lines just to be told sorry no money

Shoprite Checkers Aggressive staff

I'm a customer that shops at Shoprite regularly. This evening I went there to shop for a few items, as I was leaving, the security leaned too close to my face and I moved away because he was making me uncomfortable. He then started laughing at me for moving away and I told to get away before I get annoyed and he started cussing at me for that. He said vile words I wish not to repeat. I was so distraught that I quickly left without even getting his name. I don't feel comfortable shopping there anymore if this is the harassment customers face.

Desired outcome: For him to apologize to me or be moved to a different store because I am afraid of him and I feel uncomfortable
