Really bad experience.
Stopped there for a bite on the way back to Johannesburg after a long day working on a medical unit in a local hospital.
After paying for my items I headed to my car. In my left hand was some chicken and big tub of desert, in my right was an untouched 500ml latte for the road and my car keys, and pinched under my left arm pit was 1 liter fresh orange juice.
I was out of the building and already on the tar when security called me and demanded my 'slip', which was in my wallet, in my pants' pocket. 'Why?' I asked. 'you did not pay for the juice' was the reply. 'I did'...'NO, you did not' ....'yes I did!' So now I had to produce a receipt with arms loaded full of items. What a frustration!
I have to stop what I am doing and where I am going, put EVERYTHING down, and produce a receipt. So I did. My coffee ended up mostly on the pavement, the desert in a nearby trolley and the receipt in security's hand.
And yes, it showed that I did pay for all the items, including the juice
SHE DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TO APOLOGISE - ' sorry sir, our mistake for calling you a thief.. allow us to replace the spilt coffee so we can all be friends again'...
OH NO!!!
just a 'Whatever, you can go...' and that was it.
Seriously?! You call me out in public, argue with me, force me to stop and proof my innocence, and do not even have the decency to admit you made a mistake?
So I arrived at my car, carrying just the chicken and the juice...no coffee, and the desert did not 'do it for me' anymore so it remained in the trolley someone left at the exit...
Food lovers market will never ever ever see me in the queue of any of their shops again.
There may be a million other people still flocking there to deposit their hard earned cash, but I will not be one of them...
