⭐☆☆☆☆ Bought a dress from for my wife @ Pick n Pay Clothing and the quality was disappointing. It looked fine at first, but after only three wears the fabric already started losing shape and showing clear wear. For something meant to be clothing, that level of durability is unacceptable. It feels like the material is made to look good on the rack rather than hold up in real use. Even light, normal wear shouldn’t cause this kind of breakdown so quickly. Would not recommend if you expect long-lasting value. You end up paying for something you can barely use.
I am deeply disappointed by the massive increase in my Toyota car insurance premium. Although the company did send communication regarding the adjustment, an increase of around 20% still feels excessive and unreasonable for loyal clients. At a time when many South Africans are already under financial pressure, these kinds of yearly increases make insurance increasingly unaffordable. Loyalty appears to count for very little, and long-term customers are left feeling like they are simply expected to absorb whatever increase is imposed. I understand that inflation, repair costs, and risk factors affect the insurance industry, but increases of this magnitude push customers to start questioning whether they are truly receiving fair value anymore. I would strongly encourage consumers to review their policies regularly and compare alternatives instead of assuming staying loyal will benefit them in the long run. Very disappointing experience overall.

I’ll be shopping at Dis-Chem from now on. Trying to find the price of a simple Clicks product is impossible unless you download their app. Then you’re forced to register, and of course the registration doesn’t work because your card isn’t linked to your ID. It’s just a hassle from start to finish. No thank you. Dis-Chem still has the sense to use a normal online website that actually shows its prices.
I had a very disappointing experience at the iStore in Mall of the North. While I was at the till and the lady was already helping me, she started chatting to her colleague about something else instead of finishing my transaction. I stood there waiting, even though the store was empty. When I asked her to please help me first and talk to her colleague afterwards, she gave me attitude and seemed annoyed that I spoke up. Very unprofessional service — customers should be treated with more respect and attention.
I visited Castle Gate Krispy Kreme and ordered one strawberry-filled doughnut, one glazed, and one cookies and cream. Bought individually, these should have cost R63, but I was charged R66 because they rang them up as a box of three assorted doughnuts instead — pocketing an extra R3. It might seem petty to complain about R3 from one customer, but imagine the scale if this happens across the country. For example, in 2020, the Rosebank branch reportedly sold 1,320 doughnuts per hour. If even 30% of those were similar transactions, that’s 396 orders — meaning R1,188 extra per hour potentially taken from unsuspecting customers. What’s frustrating is that this feels like a deliberate tactic to overcharge customers without their knowledge. It’s dishonest and unfair. Krispy Kreme should be transparent with pricing and stop exploiting customers by charging more than what was ordered
Be aware that Vox does not let you move your contract to another address, which is absolutely ridiculous. Its just a change of address, now they want me to pay for the installation because Im moving and it has not been a year. I had no intentions of using another service , yet their overly complicated policies and lack of basic understanding , forces me to consider any other service provider but them
“I’m really frustrated that joint accounts are no longer offered by any bank. This was such an essential service for families and couples to manage shared finances. How are people supposed to live in communion of property when they’re forced to keep separate accounts? The banks’ reasoning doesn’t make sense, as one spouse often still can’t qualify for credit. Why not create an account that only both spouses can deposit money into? Each spouse could keep their own personal accounts, pay tax on those, and then transfer money into the joint account to live from. This would solve the problem while allowing couples to manage shared expenses more effectively.”
