Shoprite Checkers Security officer

Good day,

My wife and I went to Shoprite in Smith Street Durban, last evening at about 17H55. When we got to the door there was a black lady in front of us, the security officer let her in and slammed the door closed in out face. I have reported this matter to the front manager, but will anything done about this matter been addressed I don't think so. This is why I am bringing this matter to your attention.

I would like to know the outcome of this matter, as I live right next door to the shop and should I get not satisfaction I will go viral with my complaint.

Thank you

Shoprite Checkers Poor arrogant customer service

This was my worst experience at shoprite midland mall on holders mall

The supervisor name dineo i cant spell her surname was very arrogant and rude with attitude which was negative towards me as a complainant for misplaced stock of deodorant.

I asked for the refund as they placed a sale price on the stock and when i got to the payment counter they said its more than the price i saw,i then asked for a refund they called dineo who came and asked whats the problem with negative attitude and ddnt even bother todo eye contact and she made me wait for almost 1hour saying she cant assist me the manager instead can assist me and she ddnt call the manager.

Shoprite staff are used to treating customers poorly and getting away with it they should be trained or disciplined for poor service.cos people are looking for jobs.

Desired outcome: Disciplinary action

Shoprite Checkers Shoprite store Kwaggafontein Mpumalanga

It was On the 5th of April 2022 at 15:00, my grandmother went to shoprite to receive the grant, because they have been in the store from the morning they were hungry and the network was slow from the store. The lady who works at shoprite told them to go and grab something to eat, and keep the papers so that they will pay, she was with other 2 grannies. The security guard accused them of stealing, the lady who works at shoprite tried to explain the situation from the guard, but he did not want to listen. They were humiliated from the public without given a chance to explain. They spend a night in jail without the proof of stealing. She is depressed, she can't even go outside the house. I wish the store could do something to help her cope with the situation.

Shoprite Checkers They don't change items that are on sale on the till

Shoprite central Kempton Park has no customer service at all products which appear to be on sale at the counter but suddenly when you reach a till point the item is not on mark down, the supervisor will be rude and won't even go and check to verify the prices, Why doesn't Shoprite send their mystery shoppers just like any other retail companies to see how their customers are treated by staff. This is not the first time we complain about the services we get from your staff that means you guys don't care about business.

Desired outcome: I want you guys to appoint at least 2 people to go and be mystery shoppers and shop on items that are on mark down so that you can see that some of your staff is well trained for customer service

Shoprite Checkers I will appreciate it if they can apologize and replace everything that was in my bag.

I forgot my bag at they parcel counter on the 01/03/2022 but because I had the parcel counter number I believed that it was safe, the next day on the 02/03/2022 I went to claim it but they said someone came and gave the description of what was in the bag and claimed to have lost the bag. The person who was handing the bag did not follow proper procedure and now they dragging their feet to solve this. It was a lunch box bag and had my lunch box, my keys, money, 2 lotions, hand Wipes and sanitizer.

Shoprite Checkers Money market

Good day,

I was at Shoprite today in ClearyPark Mall, Port Elizabeth, We had to stand on the que for about an hour because we we served with only 1 cashier and I don't know what the other one was doing. What made me angry is that when I asked the security guard at the door to call the manager He refused and told me to go to the manager's office if I want to report something because he cannot come out, both securities agreed on same thing a Xhosa lady and a Thin Xhosa guy with glasses. They didn't even try to communicate instead they ignored us and they also said they cannot desert the post and go to the manager's office, I mean they have radios, controllers to assist with the communication. Kindly assist and I would also like to hear the outcomes of this complaint, End of the month we cannot work with one or two cashier's, Thank you.

Desired outcome: Disciplinary action

Shoprite Checkers Service

To whom it may concern

I visited shoprite in protea Glen mall the service I got from the lady at the Butchery is shocking. As I was busy chosing the type of meat I want she shouted that why i don't I say everything at once as she has a job which is packaging vors not to attend to me. That's shocking that's why we opt to go to either Woolworth or pick n pay. How can I choose everything hence there's a window to check n decide on what I want. Date 25.02.2022 time 17:15 With this kind of service shoprite must kiss me goodbye.. Worse part after leaving she started to gossip me with the customer that I can't keep sending her one by one instead of telling her at once.

Shoprite Checkers Food tastes like soap - shoprite windsor glen

We have Noted for the last few months more and more items purchased at Shoprtie Windsor Glen has a distinct taste of Soap - yes it tastes like dishwashing liquid.

We 1st noticed all meats bought from them (2 fridges next to each other) all tasted like soap, so we stopped buying meat there.

Various other products over time has had a soap taste as well, we stopped buying them.

The latest what we have noted is that the Bread purchased there also tastes like Soap - its disgusting...

Desired outcome: Please stop selling people Soap Food - it makes people sick. I buy at other shops now, but the rest of the people who can't afford to go anywhere else is stuck with this soapy mess.

Shoprite Checkers Unethical behaviour

On the 25 December 2021 I went to Shoprite at Estcourt since the shop was opened, after selected the items that I needed accidentally one item that I picked didn't have bar code which was discovered by till lady when was paying. She told me that she won't be able to scan the item that doesnt have a bar code so was asked to go and get one with bar code if I need the item. I told her that it is not fair for her to do that since it was not my fault to have unbar corded item on my list. She emphasize and I insisted that I am not leaving without having all picked items with me.

I requested to see the manager to raise my concern, only after that she asked the packer to go get bar coded item from the shelf to scan then she concluded my sale. I waited for long time for the manager before decided to leave. after I left decided to come back and asked her manager's name and also was rude and stated that she can not give me the manager's name. I asked her name which was given to me.

what shows that she was in a very bad mood she did not even give me option to swipe my Xtra serving card even though I had it on my had together with my bank card.

I believe that it is my right to have my complaint attended by the manager on duty and resolve it there without escalating to you. I would like to plead with rural areas managers to take people serious and hear their complaint or concern without judging base on their staff side of a story. My wish is to see every customer being treated fairly and the same.

Cashier's details are [censored] follows:
Nomvelo Dhludhla
From Esctourt Shoprite

My details are as follows:
Sifiso Mtshali

Desired outcome: For the customers to be treated fairly and with respect, your staff to be trained on customer relation. I would also like to be contacted by the store manager who was on duty with explanation why I was not attended as I have requested.
