I AM STILL A PENSIONER -a Pet Hate

CLARIFICATION No other reason than, P & P Lephalale desk managers were the last " management I discussed this with, so for this preview, let's use Pick & Pay - Lephalale town branch. This review is not against " The General Store or Pick and Pay. but I had to put somebody's name in (a required field entry) - sorry, General Store & Pick & Pay "; This is against all retailers who run a specific day of the week as " Pensioner Day". I am a pensioner (77 years old) for the whole week, not just on Tuesday, and I do not understand why giant retailers should insult me ( yes, I actually feel insulted when I get to the till, and I ask for my "pensioner discount and I get told " sorry Sir, we don't do pensioner discounts on a Wednesday. Our pensioner day is every Tuesday. " But I could not get here yesterday because (1 of a hundred reasons why I could not get to the store on "pensioner day Tuesday) and I promise you I am still a pensioner, I have not won the Lotto (and therefore I can afford to pay non pensioner discounted prices, i.e. I no longer need the R10 I might saved on PD"s (Pensioner Discounts) if I had got here yesterday.) " Sorry Sir, I only work here. Management makes those decisions. Management's response- " Sorry, Sir, but it is what it is". " 50 years ago, we did a heart transplant. We are now on the verge of colonizing Mars. How difficult can it be to work out a simple system that tracks when (on which day of the week) I took advantage of pensioner day and saved a couple of rands? WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THER'S A WAY. now the response at the till can be - " Sir according to our records you received your Pensioner Discounts when you shopped here on Wednesday. Today is Friday. You only get one day a week to take advantage of our pensioner discounts " so much better than " Sorry Sir but you lost out - Pensioner Day was yesterday" " But I am still a pensioner, and I was counting on my discounts "
