Franchises are generally run anyway they want. Thats why we had the pie incident from the OP. Having said that I wouldnt eat from any deli in any retailer. Especially Checkers. Know a few guys in retail.

Cheeses crust are you being cereal? :O
 
i dont think they would use a chicken in 9 days

surely they dont buy so much to have it used over such a long period

i know the vangate pnp never has chicken come a sunday evening

and they have the huge long fridges

Yor that place when it's busy. Leka deermekaar! Then I stand outside. I wanted to ask where his from. Pnp usually don't have grilled chicken when I'm looking at night.

You literally changed my entire outlook on deli foods, can anyone else corroborate these facts as commonplace in supermarket deli's? Sorry I'm not trying to derail the thread, by the way OP, have they apologized for the error at least?
 
haha vangate is the worst pnp ever ...close to home though so have to have patience

and yeah not sure what farm he is from ..cause most pnps i see dont have stuff at closing time

iv never bought at the deli cause deli food from pnp and spars dont do it for me
 
I rather buy fresh thinly sliced biltong from a butcher and PnP/Spar bread rolls than buy anything from a PnP/Spar deli...

True story... It wasn't about cooking what was needed it was about cooking all expired stock...

I suggest you get drunk and eat them pies at around 2am, I promise they will taste delicious, probably the best pies you have ever slurped up..

that is indeed quite a phenomenon.

at 4am, street food served from a cart on the pavement is often regarded as haute cuisine

+10... Those boerewors rolls from Mohammad's Boerewors stand on Long street were the bomb at 4am in the morning..
 
Had that happen to me before a few times before. Best way to go about it is demand to talk to the manager and then **** on him. And next time buy your **** at woolworths.
