Huge win for Pick n Pay

Not here I jumped ship away from FNB. Waiting an hour and a half for ASAP deliveries is a joke. I can walk to Checkers and get my stuff within half an hour. Only useful thing is Pnp clothing. Cheap prices, recycled and good quality.

I used to Checkers because of FNB ... and changed to PnP for the same reason.

I ordered a basket of goods, including a 6 x milk ... and they no stock of the milk :/
I ordered another basket of good a few days later, including another 6 x milk (another brand) ... and no stock of that either.

So, I have to stop on the way home to get the milk anyway

I have noticed since the plebs were let on ASAP has more stock issues :p.
Before this month I barely had any issues.
 
I switched/used Checkers because their quality and all round standard improved. Pick n Pay is still the dump it used to be. I ain't shopping there just because of some endorsement. eBucks does not add any value in my FNB world.

Was it on promotion? Remember PnP does not keep stock of items on promotion.

It does for me as well :-). It has helped over the last couple of months. With Checkers it was a pittance in comparison.
I also like that clothing is separate, two kids, lots of clothing.
 
People don't always think about what is actually happening and if it is good for the long term. The change was not done to benefit the consumer, it was done because of some back office deal so that FNB can get management of PnP's banking services (speculation, yes)

I have to wonder if this will last long term as PnP has been on a downward spiral for a very long time during the tenure of a couple of CEO's. This might just end up biting FNB in the arse.

One reason I am saying this, why does FNB and PnP need to put out so much PR if it is working, if it was working, would that have not been enough PR? Also, preliminary results are always great - look at the covid vaccine studies that proved it 99% effective.

I'll be over here with the other peasants, jumping through my eBucks hoops. :ROFL:

That said I'm not happy with PnP and will be mostly making use of Spar as my grocer of choice.

Same, I'll jump those hoops :-) and it's not like I already didn't use ASAP, checked between both apps and bought from which ever was cheaper. So it literally made no difference to me.
