Reviews of Checkers:Checkline FreeCall - Cape Town

Checkers since December have increased the price of the expired vegetables from R14.99 to R39.99 per kg. This is an
absolute disgrace, as the people buying the expired goods are pensioners and the low income groups. Beans for instance
are soft and turning brown are sold at R39.99 but you can buy fresh beans at R29.99 per kg. Shame on you Checkers,
trying to make money from the people who can least afford it.

I shop at Checkers in Oudtshoorn, as I am a pensioner I always check the vegetables that have been marked down, but since December that price of the expired vegetables have increased from R14.99 to R39./kg. As it is mostly pensioners and the under priveledged community that were buying the expired fruit and vegetables I am shocked at the attitude of
Checkers. I always recommended Checkers to all my friends but not any more. It is cheaper to go a buy at other places and get Fresh vegetables at a more reasonable price than EXPIRED vegetables at Checkers. I spoke to them and was told that they don't set the prices head office does. Well you have just lost a customer and others will follow suit. I would love to hear your explanation.

I purchased olive oil at checkers New park (Kimberley. Only to find out that my pregnant girlriend saw that the oil has expired on the ********....whereas I bought the oil on the 29th of October 2016. For such a huge company in Africa we get to be sold expired stock, now i can see how they manage to get such a huge turnover every year out selling people crap. Now my question is what is going to happen? Is this matter just going to be left unattend.. I want answers I want action to be taken because I am surely not going to let this one go....we go to that store trusting that we will get proper goods not to double check expiry dates on each and every item we want to purchase. Is that how you run your business. I still have the tillslip and the product purchased...

Good day,
I had been to the Checkers Hyper in Shallcross Ridge Durban yestersday and had a very unpleasant shopping exprience. We went looking for the braai coal and found that there were only 4 bags of 2kg which felt like all the coal were crushed. And there was a 5kg bag which was torn. We had spoken to a shelfpacker who had went and phoned for someone from the coal department, we waited in the ile for about 10mins walking up and down checking for assistance, and then asked another male shelfpacker whom said he would go to call someone and he never came back, after anothe 5 mins we decided we would continue our shopping, and we did so and then found an indian female supervior who told us she will send someone so we went back to the ile and waited 5 mins went by and no one came to our assistance. We decided to leave out the braai coal as we would to purchase it elsewhere. We go to the cashier and pay for our goods then at the till point the female supervisor whom said that the manager sent braai coal up, after making a call to confirm, after about 5 mins she then sent a packer to fetch a bag of braai coal for us, at this point we were so irritated that we did not care what brand or kind of coal it was, we just wanted to get it and get out as not even the manager came up to apologise for the inconveince. It is not the first time some thing like this had happened, last week my fiance went to purchase a tool appliance but staff was unable to get the price and code of the item and my fiance didn't end up purcahsing it. I do hope that this matter will be looked into. Thank you in advance.
