Blatant attempt to de***** customers or a genuine mistake. I do not know so I will let the reader decide. This morning, we go to Superspar Port Edward for a couple of items and to take advantage of the special they have running on Beef Mince. R99.99 per kg. I enquire at the butchery counter and am told nope they are not currently running a special on beef mince. So, I show them the advertised special. Off we go to the floor managers at the front. Yes, they are running a special. All the butcher needs to do is weigh out a kilo of mince and it will be adjusted at the tills as they are unable to adjust the butchery till for some reason. So butchery weighs out a kilo of mince and off we go to the main tills to pay after shopping. Cashier says mince has no price tag. Yes, I say the supervisors know about the problem and the pricing will be done at the front tills. Yes, but they need a bar code. So off they go to the butchery to get the incorrectly priced bar code sticker. Comes back at R129.99/kg so 1.002kg is R130.25 but Sir do not worry our front till is set to the R99.99 price. Look on the screen you will see. Sure enough beef mince R99.99 per kg. The mince goes through and when I get the till slip, I check it (Sorry I am an old skelem myself being many years in the motor trade) Yes, Beef Mince is R99.99 kg but the price is still R130.25. Looking deeper at the slip I see that the weight has been changed to read 1.303kg not 1.002kg like the butchery scale indicated. Cashier and supervisor cannot explain, and I do not expect them to. This is a management problem. So I demand to see a manager. Not one to be found. So no, I have not taken this up with management as they conveniently disappeared when I started throwing my toys out of my pram. Be warned folks. Check your till slips when shopping. I am not for one minute saying this applies to all Spars as they are independently owned but what I am saying is buyer beware.
A couple of years back I bought a pair of sandals as I needed something non-slip, hard wearing and comfortable. I own several Jeep shirts and shorts and have always found the quality to be of the highest standard and very comfortable. So I decided to spend the extra money and go for the Jeep brand when I bought the sandals. Not cheap! What an absolute disappointment!! The biggest load of ******* ever. Just two hours wearing them and my feet stink like rotten toejam. I have never ever had smelly feet until this ****. As a result they lie most of the time in my cupboard. I have seriously only worn them a handful of times and only when absolutely necessary as their non-slip properties are pretty good. I wash them after every use in the vain hope that it may help but to no avail. Today again I needed to wear them as I needed the non-slip when I noticed the soles were coming away from the body of the sandal. Suffice to say this is the very last Jeep product I will ever buy again as, sadly like many other quality products, quality appears to have been compromised for cheaper mass produced materials.
