Checkers Sixty60 customer bought R1,500 worth of groceries in 15 seconds

The AI shopping assistant on Sixty60, Pixie, has seen significant adoption among users on the on-demand shopping platform, with one customer using it to build a grocery basket worth over R36,000.

"So far, Pixie's number one user has added 730 products to their basket using Pixie's swipe down to add to basket functionality, with a total value of R36,236," said Shoprite, which owns Checkers Sixty60.

Would have saved a lot more money buying at Makro then. Saving a R40+ delivery fee too, as they offer free delivery for products over R500.
 
10 products at that price sounds like 10 bottles of drinks 💁‍♂️
 
Imagine delivering R36k worth of items on your crappy scooter bike and then not getting a tip
They have a few Suzuki vans they use for larger orders, though it will not be there in 60 minutes, but they have delivered fridges and microwaves to a few places near me. Was fun watching them having to deliver it 2 floors up.
 
Don't Sixty60 have a limit of 35 items per basket? In that case the 36k purchase must have had high value items.

They do sometimes use private cars for local deliveries. Had a few stopping by. But, the limits on the app do remain and cannot be bypassed. No matter what delivery transport they make use of.
 
The problem with the Pixie AI assistant is that it pops up as soon as you open the app, and then bases its products on your default delivery location. BUT if you have 2 or more delivery locations it is doesn't work so well as i need to select the correct location first.
