Shoprite stores close in Joburg as staff protest over 'lazy k*****s' slur

[My_King]

Me: Good afternoon ma'am you well?
Shoprite till operator: Plastic?

Funny but true

 

[RaptorSA]

Yep. When the law came in to criminally convict people for words and we had folks here jumping up and down and salivating at the thought, some of us pointed out that there would be false accusations made.

Not a single damn given obviously as they knew it would be one-way traffic as far as race is concerned.

Yup.
And you don't even need to read the comments here.... Just turn on the radio.

I "hate listen" radio 702 all the time, the other morning (referring to the Adam Catzavelos case) they were complaining that the current R200K "hate speech" limit is not nearly enough to make up for the 350,000 years of slavery and suffering they had to go through, and needs to be changed (to what I'm not sure, but I could swear I heard the sound of a guillotine coming from that f***ing genius, Xolani Gwala's thoughts)....

 

[WaxLyrical]

I wouldn't completely dismiss the lazy part.

Apartheid and the big bang are essentially synonymous these days. If it weren't for the big bang/apartheid, >>insert random negative occurrence here<< would never have happened!

But is she wrong?

Well if they perform anything like my local Checkers staff they should be working ****ing harder.
The attitude is pathetic. I've actually had them sigh at me when ordering something from behind the display.
Zero idea of what customer service even means. I can understand the frustration ...

Yeah, Checkers, P&pay and Game. Mostly staffed by lazy bastards. She could've called them lazy without calling them k'fers though. That was just unnecessary.

My best is:
"If the apartheid slavery bigbang genocide pandemic massacre nuclear attack didn't happen 5,000 years ago we'd all be equal and happy together, sining kumbaya and feasting on caviar and biltong"...'ya know, like in all those other countries...

 

[SeRpEnT]

Angry workers.
Shoprite stores.
Massive potential for looting.
Bonus!

then you say, no thank you, and proceed to pay for the plastic that gets added anyway

Using a racial slur to address staff incompetence is wrong. If she's right it automatically becomes irrelevant.

Always had great service at the game stores in kzn.

Well, if shoprite is closed, as well as all the foreign owned spaza shop in JHB, where exactly are people going to buy their affordable food?

edit: no excuse for the manager IF she actually said what's she's accused of.

 

[Ninja'd]

Black woman are apparently notoriously lazy waitresses, even other black woman avoid them.

I never go anywhere with waitresses so I dunno.

How does one avoid specific waiters? Because I always curse under my breath when I get a male one.

Cambridge.

Cambridge.

What's that?

 

[Knyro]

I thought MyBBers were ballin', who knew so many shop at Shoprite.

Meh, sticks and stones.

Well it's easy actually..... never go and spend money at any place that has either waiters or waitresses..... that's city-folk spending patterns. We had a Wimpy here for maybe a year before it closed down..... I never went in.
