Olive & Plates Donald Gordon - Price ******ion

This complaint is specific to the Olive & Plates Deli at Donald Gordon Meical Centre. The price for a refrigerated prepacked pre made bagel chicken mayonaisse R130.00 which contained more mayo and pickles than anything else, no tomato, cucumber, arugula, lettuce or even a costly herb such as watercress, to at least quantify the exorbitant price you are selling this low grade bagel at. No price on the item until you arrive at the cashier, to catch the consumer competely off guard. The sandwich prep date was 15/09/2025, i purchased it on 16/09/2025, so no, it was not ordered off your menu and no it was not freshly prepared and no it was not toasted, no it did not come with chips or salad or on a plate. How do you justify this price? Either that is an error or you need to really look at your pricing perspective and pricing discretion. The reasonable standard value of a sandwich of that calibre and quality in most deli's in high end Johannesburg ranges between R70 - 80. The price you are selling this item at is the same price one would pay if they ordered off your menu, and that plate would include chips or salad? Not even at the International Airport would you pay R130 for a sandwich of this quality. An email was sent to this store yesterday, I still await an explanation for this ******ion. Actually this is not extrortion it is a ******* and taking advantage of consumers who are vulnerable being at the hospital most of the day. A family of 5 who now would like just an ordinary sandwich are subjected to R130 per sandwich wihout a drink... so the little snack turns out to be R1000.00 with cooldrinks or coffee. At a little Foodshack? There are top class resturants where you can feed your entire family a top class quality meal, with drinks and including the watrons tip for R1500.
