SLACK SLACK service and a hint of chauvinism towards women
I've NEVER experienced such slack service in a shop, ever!. All 7 sales assistants at Midas Herm**** were at their desks, and one customer was assisted at the front, and myself, waiting like a fool in the queue!. Another 'male' customer entered and was assisted almost immediately, and never stood in the queue, behind me. Two or three of the assistants looked me straight in the eye but never called me forward?! I sense some serious Chauvinism towards women!. I asked to speak to the manager and they never answered me??. Midas is a DISGRACE!. Your service is diabolical!!. Useless!!1 reply

Instead of a refund they charged and owed me R940, which I spotted on my bank statement!. Then when they refunded me Marcello short-changed me, AGAIN, by R100!!. I have been driving back and forth for this cretin, all due to incompetence and indifference!
On the 8th of April I returned two bags of 2kg Montego Karoo cat food to your Petshop Science store at The Whalecoast Mall in Herm****. Prior to that, I contacted Montego customer care to explain that the food was not palatable to my 3 cats. I sent them photos of the batch numbers as well as proof of purchase from your Petshop Science store in Herm****. I also told Colleen Daniels of Montego, that I would return the food that afternoon. She said that's absolutely fine, as she arranged with Marcello to refund me. I thought it strange as I never received an SMS to notify me that I had been refunded once I had left Petshop Science store that afternoon. Yesterday, I was horrified to see on my bank statement, that Marcello had in fact CHARGED ME R539.98, instead of REFUNDING ME with R399.98(The special at the time was R199.99 per 2kg bag). So in other words, Checkers owes me R939.96, and that's excluding the stress and petrol money you have cost me going back and forth. This is a serious error that constitutes a violation of my consumer rights. I have all my receipts, bank statements showing the deduction, return slips, and any correspondence with the store as well as with Montego Karoo who contacted Marcello. This morning I was told that I can come to the store and be refunded. I collected the 2 bank bags and assumed the amount to be correct only to find they short-changed me by R100!!!. It's a ****** farce!. Absolutely hopeless!!!. Marcello said he didn't place the money inside the bank bags. I then asked him, who did, and he told me, it doesn't matter. Yet on my receipt it has the Petshop Science logo for the refund?. Beware of Checkers. I advise customers to check their bank statements more regularly. It is time that Checkers pays for the **** ups they make! Unfortunately for Checkers I will forward and share my experience with Mandilakhe Tshwete, journalist for IOL News. If I never checked my statement, I would never have known that your Checkers employee charged, and not refunded me for the two bags of cat food due to utter negligence and lack of care!. A word of advice, CHECK your bank statements regularly!. These issues with Checkers are becoming more and more frequent and systemic, and customers should file a complaint with consumer protection commissions. This has to stop! It's endemic to Checkers, and they have gotten away with it for far too long!0 replies

Pepper sauce was dolloped onto the Schnitzel as they do at a soup kitchen. Pepper sauce tasted like a packet soup mix. Overpriced and unappetising!
Ordered a Chicken Schnitzel with a pepper sauce at the Spur in the Whalecoast Mall in Herm****. When it arrived it was covered in sauce!. It was an unappetising moosh, with no crispy schnitzel taste. The sauce was awful, and had to be sc****d to the side. WHY did they throw the sauce on top, as this should be served on the side??. There was no point in returning the meal, as I had already started eating and that would mean another 25 minute wait. I was also shocked at the cost of the full portion, nl R166.95?!. In 2025 this dish was R119.95. It's a DISGRACE how you hike up the prices, a R46.00 increase?! Low quality and overpriced food!. Come on, it's not a soup kitchen for the poor. Food should be presented well in a restaurant!. I'm really disappointed in the Spur. You're going down 👎0 replies

RCL Foods is a HEALTH HAZARD to both pets and humans. There seems to be no end control. Dangerous!
Too many problems at RCL Foods. Contaminated catfood. First Ultra Pet, and now Catmor cat food pouch swollen to high heavens. Your end control is non-existent and your company is a health hazard to pets and humans. I will purchase the wet food pouches from Montego. No more product from RCL Foods will be stored in my cupboard. I will NOT take the chance and neither should the consumer. You play with lives due to negligence!!.0 replies

Dialdirect is showing their incompetence once again!
Dialdirect is showing their incompetence once again!!. How many times do I have to let you know I want my value amount lowered to R1 550 000.00. Lofonso your consultant contacted me on 18 March and said it had been lowered to the above mentioned amount and my premium would be lowered to R254 per month going forward. So, today, why the HECK are you sending me an sms with R27.92??. For ONCE, get it RIGHT!. Perhaps it's best I leave a bad review on Google and Hellopeter as every year it's the same hopeless repeat of events!!!!.1 reply

SLACK service from ABSA and their agents as per usual!
ABSA will you please explain how am I suppose to proceed with the cancellation of my Bond when your agent, Charmain Dinjana, does not give me any feedback. She assigned a lawyer of her choice to cancel the bond and release the Title Deed. She has still not rep**** to my email. I have asked her countless times to remove MAK Attorneys( Mukuddem Ahmed-Kagee Attorneys) from my profile, in order for me to assign an attorney of my choice. I'm STILL waiting. MAK Attorneys still shows up on my Bond profile as the assigned attorneys. Please sort this out as soon as possible!. Slack service from ABSA as per usual!!.1 reply
