Very, very disappointed with my online shopping at PNP.
Not the first time I have been told items are OUT OF STOCK!!
How can basic, every day items such as EGGS; MILK; CARROTS; CEREAL be out of stock!????????????????
PNP need to get their act together – don’t advertise your stock items if they are not available – simple!
I will definitely be looking at ordering with another food retailer in the future, as I am met with the same issue each time!!!!
The Pick n Pay at Crossings Mall in Mokopane goes from bad to worse.
For months now, the conveyors at the till points have been out of order. Today in the meat section I observed broken flooring and a hole in the substrate into which dirty water had drained, presumably containing food and meat scraps – hardly hygenic. The aisles are jammed with pallet loads of goods making the place look more like a cash and carry than a decent supermarket and the staff’s idea of customer service is laughable.
Clearly the Store Manager is failing in his or her duties as is the Area Manager who should be monitoring the Store Manager’s performance. The result of this shocking lack of diligence is that what was once the premium retail grocer in Mokopane is rapidly becoming one of the worst.
I’m appalled at what we experienced at the Hypermarket in Norwood today.
My husband went to buy a gas heater and the ones there had all been opened and were taped up. When he asked the employee he was told that they’d been checked for faults and has passed the test. He thought that was odd but nevertheless still bought one and brought it home. Here he opened the box, removed it and found certain parts missing. We were really annoyed so I called the manager who denied knowing anything about it but assured us that we could return it and exchange it for another. So off we trundled to the store again where we were told that they’d test it and if it worked they’d refund us a portion to make up for the inconvenience. Needless to say it didn’t work – neither did any of the others – and we got our full refund.
But they put all the faulty ones on the floor and pretended / lied that they were ok because they’d been “tested”.
Shocking behaviour. Last time I go to Pick ‘ n Pay – this is disgusting.
And to add fuel to the fire, the staff at this hyper are acknowledged to be the rudest and most aggressive of any of their shops.
No matter how much one complains and how often the staff is given training, nothing works.
They’re extremely rude to white clients and treat us badly. Maybe making up for apartheid behaviour but there really isn’t place for this any longer – we are supposed to be building this country together. So sad and so disappointing.
I am very disappointed with Pick n Pay Bedford Centre. Management have decided, in their wisdom, to move almost all their shelved goods to different locations in the store. As you know, Gauteng is in the grip of extremely high Covid cases. So instead of a regular customer going into the shop selecting what they want and leaving as quickly as possible. Shoppers now wander up and down the aisles aimlessly looking for their items. A ten minute shop now takes a good half an hour. How prudent is this reshuffling of items at this particular time. Some thought for consumers especially during these times would have been appreciated.
I really would like to let u know that I am really really in such a state of complete shock about what had taken place with me at your Pick n Pay Circle Centre Family Store in Table-View Cape Town.
Sunday(30/05/2021) it was just after 14h00pm I had entered the store to go get small things as I didn’t have much money on me & I have always enjoyed shopping at this branch because the store is always clean, the products that I purchase is always fresh & the staff & security staff always greet u with a smile. So it’s a nice shopping experience each time. However I can’t say that anymore after the turn of events that had happened to me yesterday. After paying for my few things I had purchased I left the store & walked to Blaauwberg Rd to take a minibus taxi home. While I was waiting for the taxi I was joined by a fellow staff member of PnP who I greeted & then he greeted me back & then he said to me “Sorry sir, can u please come with me back to the store as the management would like to ask me something.” Well I had replied to the young man ” Sure not a problem at all.”
So the two of us crossed over Blaauwberg Rd & when walking into the customer parking area opposite the PnP store there was another two staff members who was walking in our direction & then when we met up we were in the parking area & the one person whose name was Innocent ( ass manager) said to me “”Sir, can I ask u a question, did u put anything into your sling bag that u have over your shoulder, as there was someone who had apparently seen me putting a pack of meat into my bag?” I was completely shocked as there was now a security guard that works at the PnP that had joined us & a lot of people who had been inside the store returning to their cars & looking at me & that was really uncomfortable & I was so embarrassed as I knew that I was completely innocent & had nothing in my sling bag except for a pack of 6 Hot Cross buns I had purchased at ShopRite in Dunoon a little bit earlier. I then opened up my bag & showed them the bag & took out the contents & then the manager who had approached me started apologising to me but I was just in so much shock at the time & felt all these eyes of onlookers looking at me,I was so embarrassed & shamed for what had just taken place.
So I then returned to the place where I took the taxi home.
But it never ended there because later on that evening I landed up assisting a friend with some help he needed & then we stopped at the Caltex garage on Koeberg Rd & I went into the shop & then came out & at that time a guy came up to me & said r u ok & what happened today in the parking area at PnP & said to me that the management shouldn’t have taken it to inside the office of the store. Poorly handled the case.
Hi, there are procedures to follow, I suggest that you take it up with the store manager, then if you get no joy, the head office, still no joy, the directors and then Hello Peter is the best as I always check this out before choosing my shop. If the management is slack, so will the store.
This is getting ridiculous, normally I’d notice the overcharging of items almost everytime at pick n pay…now yesterday I was at pnp southdale were I buy almost every week and the cashier was so inconsiderate screaming and chatting to the colleague whole I wait for her to assist me, i noticed when i get home she didnt even give me my change.
Don’t you forget, South Africa protects the consumer against such occurrences, we have the ombudsman as a last resort and then legal action for all the drama, you can claim everything that as a result of that occurance has caused you(in cash via legal action, don’t feel that their lawyers have more money and can buy stuff out of court). Pursue your rights and so will every citizen of this country not of criminal nature.
I’m very disappointed with the service I received from pick n pay Sinoville, I went to buy some few things on the 31 October 202 when I swiped my card they told me it declined because of network issues and when I checked on my account the money was gone and I also received an SMS notification the manager( Patrick) assured me that I will get my money same day it will automatically reverse as it shows declined on their side.I had to swipe my card again because I URGENTLY needed the items, I called the store on Sunday the 1st November 2020 to follow up and the manager (Patrick) asked for my details to attend the matter I did sent the email with the details He requested and He didn’t even bother to acknowledge the email and today its day 3 and my money is still not in my account and I have tried to call the store to follow up but no one is answering
On Friday 02 October 2020, I went to Pick N Pay shelly Beach to do my shopping, I then saw that laundry basket was R139.00.. Today when I go to PnP to purchase it, it was Still R139.00 on the shelves but when I got to the till it was R234.. Luckily I had taken pictures, I then showed them but the lady named Sharon came back with the R234 sticker and said that’s what she found.. They called the manager named Else manager refused to give me and told me she’s not gonna give me with the price I saw..
This is not the 1st time I had this problem with PnP Shelly Beach, they always change stories and price tags hence I took a picture before going to the till. I am not happy with their services especially management. They always refuse to fix their mistakes, I am not happy with them.
I am extremely unhappy with customer service Pick and Pay Wonderpark. I cannot drive all the way from to return an appliance that I have purchased from the very same store, only to be sent back. The product has no lived up to expectations, and I expect the Retail Store to be the ones in engagement with their Manufacturers. I demand my refund, and will take this further. There was no decision maker on the Sunday shift. I will never support Pick and Pay going forward. I also work in the Retail sector, and this is the kind of unacceptable treatment that I will never forget.
Pick n Pay what can I say!. Disappointed , annoyed, frustrated!! I visit Pick n Pay at least 3 times a week and guaranteed I will be overcharged for an item or two. Today I was overcharged for wild rocket..luckily I picked up the price discrepancy while at the till. The supervisor didn’t even greet me or apologize for the inconvenience..last week it was mushrooms and previously Lindt chocolates and the list goes on. Yes we need our food stores but this incomptence regarding your pricing system is shocking. Do not rob your loyal customers..others don’t even know they are being robbed. Please get your act together and train your staff to be more courteous.
Hi,my mom and I went to Pick n pay this morning in Tzaneen in Tzaneng mall,and the service there are bad,we want to collect money that my father payed in for me and my. Brother,and the whole time they send us from one till to another,and my mother has to get back at work,so the service was bad at Pick n Pay in Tzaneng mall.
My husband and I went to do quick shopping at Pick and pay Hyper William Moffet, Port Elizabeth, 10 June 2020@ about 15:30.
My husband is in wheelchair and we noted only 4 tills open and the wheelchair friendly isle in use for normal outlet … absolutely NO RESPECT was shown towards the disabled and no assistance are NEVER available in the shop lastly and the staff are clueless whats where in the shop this is SHOCKING how this once decent pleasant shopping has gone down to a unfriendly environment and experience!!!!!! :( :(
Good morning
I wish to compliment the staff at Pick ‘n Pay hyper in Boksburg.
With covid19 in the air one expect the long ques and waiting times.
1. I was presently surprised by the staff out side the store who immediatly brought you a trolly as soon as you joined the que to add that little bit of needed space
2. The que was well managed though long not a frustration at all
3. The cleaning station was,…well clean and efficient
4. The toilet paper display at the entrance and in the isle created a very assuring sence of peace in the store ??
5. I am one of those people who currently jiks everything coming from outside. Once again normallyl I expected that I would use a number of cloths during this process, jet in a trolly with a month’s worth of shopping I used only one adding only jik from time to time. Impressive.
6. Heath safety measures was in place fand available to or all the staff
7. One concern though is that some of the isle staff do not make proper use of this PPE. Either not using it or placing it incorrectly thus not providing them any protection. People wearing glasses obviously would have a problem with condencation thus opening the nose.
I am really happy and extremly impressed by the sevice from this store. Please be so kind as to forward the message to the manager.
Thank you for having our heath at heart

Good Day,
Can you please give me the reason why Hypermarket, Norwood, can not have
queuing system at the tills (first till empty, first in queue goes forward) for large
shopping, and only has them for 10 and under items?
It is very frustrating to stand in a queue that takes forever whereas the one
next to you moves very quickly. ALL the shops in the Mall have this type
of queuing system, why can’t you?
have bought an expired peanuts at PnP Umlazi, Mega city today, and the expiry date was on the 02/02/2020 that’s means it expired 16 days ago and it still kept in the shelf.
And I took it back to the store and when I get there the security sent me to the Kiosk, and they call their supervisor to attend the matter, without any greating she apologies, and she asked me if I want a packet of peanuts or a refund, I asked her if they can give me my bus fare bacause it’s not my fault that they keep expired goods, she replied, ” It not my father’s store” I was very shocked that there still supervisors who don’t respect us customers, then I asked her to give back that packet of peanuts, I Wil report this matter to Department of Health and will take one step further about this matter because they don’t have respect to their customers
Good morning
Trust you are well
My mum had been to the Phoenix Pick N Pay yesterday around 11:00 to do some shopping as she was shopping one of the staff members was pushing a trolley full of goods with big black containers that stuff member rammed my mother on her leg and it has swelled up even the skin is removed the management of pick n pay did nothing about it they don’t even monitor the cameras ,I want this matter to be dealt with urgently as she was injured in the store and if there is damage to her leg I will be taking legal acting against pick n pay.
Pick n Pay Lifestyle Centre in Centurion has a problem with their fish slicing machine. The unit has not been working for over 6 months. Whenever we buy fresh fish the counter hand cleans the fish but the slices are uneven We have complained to the management at the fish counter but he says he can do nothing about it. This is very poor service at this store.
I visited your branch today 13/9/2019 and as always no shopping trolleys and basket. I am just wondering on what pick n pay or the manager that runs the branch is going to do about it.
I had to go to one of the customers to ask if I can have the basket that he was using, I was also approached by someone whilst waiting to pay if she can have the basket that I was using as I was queuing to pay.
Previously I addressed the dissatisfaction with one of your cashiers. Today also I approached your money market desk about shortage of trolleys and basket. I enquired as to whom must the complaint must be lodged with and was informed the store manager but was not on duty and that one customer had already complained. Does that mean if the store manager is not on duty no one is responsible for the running of the store? I must say the person at the counter understood and was empathetic to the situation.
Pick and pay Wonderpark you have been given ample chance to redeem yourself. If you cannot run the store up to the required standard close it and give another retailer a chance.
All this occurred between 16:30 and 16:43
I am highly pregnant….on the 2nd Aug 2019, i went to Pick n Pay Protea Glen Mall. On that day i was made to stand in que, one lady who was standing infront of me, approached one of the Supervisor, who was arrogant and worse part she was female… Even Taxis marshalls people who are normaly bully and arrogant, they dont make a pregnant woman stand in a que.
I was shopping at Hyer by the Sea yesterday 16 August 2019 I was in the <10 items queue and had 11 items in my trolley to my amazement the cashier actually refused to serve me although there was only 1 other person in the queue.I could have taken 1 item out of the trolley then I would have met your strict 10 items criteria but bearing in mind there approximately 5 cashier present but only 1 customer in the line.I had come out of the line and pay at Cashier Sphume Mngwengwe and the Cashier who was unfriendly and confrontational needs to blush up on her customer satisfaction skills rather than just "doing her job" this cashier was the first person in the last last row of the 10 items & < queue. I called the Customer Care line 0800112288 but I have received no response from Hyoer by Sea.
I have a customer with Hyer by the Sea for over 25 years Smart Shopper number 7353280006879445 in my wife's name Mrs J Govender.
Maybe some other store will appreciate my business.
Pick and Pay Steeledale has no customer service or goods as per advertised. I have been at this branch for 3 weeks and there is no stock and yet they are advertising for goods they cannot provide to the customers!! This is a wastage of my time and fuel to keep checking if they have store. This service is disgusting!
Dear Sit/Madam,
I wish to express my dismay with the extremely poor service experienced at your Centurion Branch. My wife and I visited the hypermarket at Centurion this morning (28 June) wanting to buy a total of 88 Pepsi Max cool drinks. For this we have received a rain cheque some time ago. When we got hold of the person working in the particular section, we were told that he would fetch the pepsis from the storage space. We waited and waited with no response from his side. When my wife approach somebody at the entrance to what we believe the storage area was and asked her to check on what has happened to the person that helped us, she was told to “just wait”. After approximately 15 to 20 minutes I went to the office and spoke to, what I believe to be a manager, about our problem. She went to the area asking where “Oupa” was. When Oupa was not located, she apparently went to the storage area. That was also the last time we saw her. It should be noted that the store was not busy at all as it was early morning and only a few customers where in the store. After a further period of waiting without any further communication we eventually left the store. Needless to say that we were extremely disappointed with the extremely poor service and the fact that the staff does not seem to be concerned about the customers and the service that they render.
Dear Customer Service Manager
I recently purchased some clothing items under your Soft label and was delighted to find that the track suit pants in the size Small fitted me perfectly while the matching top, also in size Small, had sleeves long enough for my unusually long arms and moreover, fits so snuggly. The fabric is terrific.
However, as soon as I got home to wear the items I realised that I far prefer for the fluffy outside of the fabric to be against my skin and I promptly turned the track suit bottom inside out and have worn it like that ever since my purchase! It is much warmer with the outside texture of the fabric worn on the inside. Otherwise I am impressed with the styling for this range you have added to your clothing section. I am a very regular customer in your clothing departments and rarely walk out of the clothing section without having purchased an item.
Kind regards
Riana Rosenbaum
I am at Hypermarket by the Sea, Durban. If the store is open until 7.00 pm surely there should be sufficient tills to service customers at a reasonable speed. 4 large shop tills open before 6.00pm. Queues are long. I will make sure not to shop at Hyper after 5.30 in future. I get caught each time. Really frustrating to take so long this time of day.
I want to say a Very Big Thank You to Pick n Pay for giving us such an awesome and friendly
Store Manager at Pick n Pay Baywest, Port Elizabeth.
Zandi is an exceptionally wonderful and sweet lady. She respects the customer, is very kind and courteous. Now, Whenever I shop at Baywest, I am very happy. Whether it’s early in the morning or late in the evening, no matter what time of day, if Zandi sees you she will definitely greet with a sweet smile and a pleasant ‘hello’.
Thank you Pick n Pay for sending Zandi to BayWest Pick n Pay in Port Elizabeth. We the customers really appreciate her kindness and efficiency but, most of all we appreciate Zandi because of her sweet, kind and pleasant nature. I wish Zandi well in her position here at Baywest Port Elizabeth and pray that she will excel achieve great success in her career in the Pick n Pay Group.
On Thursday I visited your Maponya Mall outlet, Firstly queues were too long, less cashiers, Till points cubicles are falling apart, conveyor belt at times never work, Arlam Bells that indicate which till to go to are completely in state of disrepair that is according to the Cashiers, Secondly the trolley wheels are broken, baskets are filthy you cannot even carry it around, the vegetables are not fresh, it runs across other outlets including Dobsonville Mall, the gouda cheese that I bought was off colour and very stall
I personally think that Pick and Pay is ignoring us for one simple reason, because we’re Black Consumers and we are generally ignorant about consumer rights
I am disappointed, we are not getting the same deal as customers
Pick n Pay Meerensee
This franchise should be investigated.
After the December holidays everything was suddenly a quarter more expensive: mushrooms that are always R21, cheaper even in town, are now suddenly R25. Meat idem ditto.
Specials are not honoured at the till – you have to fight for it. For some ‘Savings” that product will not be available on that day. Today it was Clover cheese on special: but only Parmelat and Lancewood cheddar on the shelf. Last week a set of pans was on special, the man in front of me had bought a set. He demanded the printed price when a different price was rung up. The manager was called – he eventually got the discounted price, but when we said we’ would also be interested in a set at that price, the manager actually sprinted to the shelf and took all the pans off.
The Smart shopper card: The kiosks are almost always off-line and cannot be used. I was told to use the App instead. Apparently this doesn’t work either. The recent discount (buy R500 and get R50 off) I loaded to my card from the app. We shopped and the the discount did not reflect. The manager said I should have asked for it at the till, but he’ll organize a refund. We then had to have ALL our groceries (R800 worth, including frozen goods) unpacked, handled and rechecked at the cigarette counter (of all places!)! The groceries were returned in a trolley without the bags – we demanded that it should go back in the packets we paid for. We were then told we should have loaded the discount at the kiosk, but here is a R50 note (cash) It took two hours.
The Smart shopper card is a farce – rather let discounts reflect on the item
Pricing on the shelves is haphazard and often incorrect.
Shopping at this branch is a disaster – you first have to find items – no plan there – it is like a treasure hunt; then you have dodge the packers who will run you over with their trolleys; floor staff stand around fiddling with their cell phones or talking to each other, blocking the aisles
The tills are always understaffed and long queues that don’t move are the norm. The staff have no idea what the “next shopper please” bar means. My partner actually got reprimanded for using it!
Cashiers are often rude and don’t acknowledge a shopper parting with their hard earned cash.
For a lesson in good customer service, please go across the road to Spar, where the staff is friendly, service is quick and supervisors are always at hand.
We would like to have feedback on this issue
Good day
Can you please look into the management of Pick n Pay, Meerensee, Richards Bay. We have the following problems :
Some items are just not available – Oast so Easy – Regular not available for months
Fresh cream – the last week – nothing on shelves
Various spices not available.
Sprite zero cans (single) and half litre bottles not available.
Service inadequate – only 3 tills open on Saturday and Sunday mornings – lines at tills are far too long and managers are not helpful. One tells a customer that if she’s not happy, she must go shop somewhere else.
This is a complaint by NOT only myself. If you do a survey at this shop you will find that most customers are unhappy!
Please assist soonest.
On three ocassions, I have bought rotten sausages at PnP kabulonga, Woodlands and Makeni shops, within ended up feeding to my dogs.
I will report case to health authorities should I have another such experience
As my Pick n Pay store is located nearby we tend to support it. However as I went in today to buy avo’s and bananas I could not believe the prices. R19.95 per avo and R17.99 p/kg for bananas. This is crazy . I’m not sure if it’s a mistake or what but the prices are just too much.
Hi , I live in Australia and wanted to know if I can buy groceries online for family living in Cape Town. If you have the facility to do this I would love to know what I need to do so I can start buying online. Your assistance in this would be greatly appreciated
