+1 reason to shop at Pak n Save :)

Still Pak n Save have a similar problem. My wife and I always check the prices on the docket before we leave the store and we would average one wrong price a week. The problem lies mainly with the specials not being in the system although some are just operator errors from identifying the vegetables and fruit.

787522 2009-07-02 22:34:00 We shop a Pak&Save as well, but their stock's variety leaves a lot to be desired.
For example my local P&S store does not stock decaf espresso coffee.
I do shop at countdown (don't care about the onecard really) for few items I can't find at P&S and whenever I had an issue nobody really seemed to care, and once or twice I was met with pure disrespect and downright arrogance from the south african manager at the store. It's a shame because countdown has some good products and some really good deals at times and this onecard business now goes to exacerbate the attitude this chain has towards their customers.

We go to countdown as they have things pak n save don't & we're far to lazy to go to 2 supermarkets :)

I thought it's the other way round!

Countdown/Foodtown prices are generally higher than PnS.

787525 2009-07-03 08:43:00 We're not far away from that paknsave too. We go to countdown in westgate & find that when comparing the same shop from both supermarkets that there's not a lot in it, until I get the stuff I want that comes in from overseas. You just can't beat pommy bikkies, pity they don't do a much bigger range. The main reason we started going to westgate was the carpark at lincoln road paknsave. It's the worst design & the road junction onto lincoln road must have been designed my a complete moron. Phil B (648)
