PEP STORES Complaints

Good day, I went to PEP Pretoria North in Shoprite Checkers with my wife on the 26th, when we entered sanitizing was done temperature was done, the gentleman was friendly. so we approach the rack where there are jackets, i asked the lady friendly if they have it in XXl, she arrogantly answer if its not there there is no stock, so i took the XL jacket and fit it, she immediately pulled the jacked with forced of me and shouted you are not allowed to fit, i asked her where is the sign that says i am not allowed to fit, she took me to the Fitting Rooms, where the only sign is, My question to here was why is there no where else in the store signs to say DO NOT FIT CLOTHES?????? She said its at the fitting rooms cant i read, i immediately went to ask for the store manager because firstly if there was a sign at the entrence of the store and everywhere i would have not fit the jacket, The store manager Alice only apologize for the employee actions but nothing further was done as that employee laughed and chuckled the whole time.
I want this to be dealt with action and i want feedback please, as im sure im not the only customer that was treaty so badly after shopping there for more than 20years. I am also in process of taking action and open an assault case as she pulled the jacket with force.

I bought a phone for my son in June 2019 and it stopped charging. When I took it back as it's still within the 1 year warranty they told me they can't fix it because of the cracked screen. I dont understand what the screen has to do with the battery.

went to buy a phone PEP Triomf 21/05/2020 the phone was checked went home charged the phone and a few hours when checking the screen was all white when returning the phone three ladies assisted mem first said the phone had water damage I said no way the a second pressure was put on the phone I said you not a technician book the phone they refused and became rude and disrespectful REFUSED TO REPLACE/REFUND me saying they will assist me further is the way customers are treated by PEP I demanded the phone be booked a lady LUCY said no I left the phone her and giggled at me she had no face mask on and looked like she did not even wash her face and refuse accept this bad service from PEP

Staff at Hillside Mall Bluff do not wear their face masks correctly. They wear them under their chins with their nose and mouths exposed.
Complained twice to customercare but went in the store again today and one staff member still wearing her mask under her chin.

The Cashier (Khosi) from Pep Eyethu Mall Orange Farm was rude to me and the customer before me. She told the customer before me not to come before she says "next customer" because of she wants she can just leave her there. To me she said its my job to greet her, it was even merely a second of me arriving at the pay point and she already told me why I am not greeting her as I found her at the till. Her colleague, who was on the next paying point laughed and it was a joke to both of them. I felt like a fool and very humiliated when they both laughed, the colleague was very happy that Khosi is addressing me and telling me to greet her.

My name is ravhura, on Friday my wife bought dstv full det at mesina mall pep cell, according to her they didn't promise to come and install it as it has already paid forward with installation, due to Corona virus levels delay, the wer suposed not to take are money mean while they know that is going to delay us to watch tv as we bought dstv

Today am calling pepcell store in mesina on 0155340416 at about 14h53 i found lady who answered my call, i explained everything to her as i was looking for installer cell number, she is busy telling me about that i must wait until first of june to the beginning of level 3, weach is wrong because she told my wife that she will call her on Tuesday but dish will be back, when am telling her about the refund she is telling me that there is no refund,

I went to pep at mankweng next to buy a dstv. When I enter the door there's was a lady who's standing in the door, I great her then she never responded. I asked her if she sanitize our hands before we enter she didn't respond then I pass her and continue with mu shopping. She then shouted at me come back and take the basket I was so angry. They spoke to the selve as staff and start loving. I wanted to buy the dstv decoder. There was a big price advert of 599r save R349. I wanted it when I pay they said is 649r. I told the cashier I want the one for R599. He said I won't get it for 599r. That Pep don't deserve a permit cause they don't know what they are doing at work

I an struggling to get an installer from DSTV MULTICHOICE. I have bought HD DECODER at PEP STORES CASHIER BRIDGETTE. She wrote the installer number as ********** (Promise). I called the installer and he told me that he does not install the decoder that I bought at PEP stores on the 23rd of MARCH. I called DSTV MULTICHOICE and spoke to the agent and he said I should go back to PEP STORES TO GET THE CORRECT NUMBER FROM THEM. WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS IS THIS? WHY DSTV MULTICHOICE IS SELLING DECODER AND THEY CANT INSTALL THEM? THIS IS THE WORST BUSINESS TRANSACTION I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. DISGUSTING

I went to Pep Store Fleurdal Bloemfontein on 13 May 2020 at 13h07. Was stopped very rudely by branch manager at the door saying YOU CAN NOT ENTER THE store WEARING A SCARF AROUND YOUR MOUTH AND NOSE IT DOES NOT COUNT AS A MASK MAMMIE!!! And is not the first time that have notice how she talks to customers. Do not know how she became a manager cause she does not know how to treat customers.

My husband went to exchange my daughters boots at Pep store brits mall,and they said they can't exchange for him due to Covid 19!I even spoke to one of the staff she said they told them not to exchange please help I need them for clild

On the 02.05.2020, we went to pep store in Ennerdale Metropolitan center to buy some clothes for the children for winter because of the lockdown we could not take the kids with to try on the shoes for the correct size, so we purchased a size to big for my niece and within a few minutes went back to the shop to change the shoe for a smaller size and we were told that we cannot change the shoe as they do not have the mandates to do so because of the lockdown, so this does not make sense that we are allowed to buy essentials for the children, and they cannot be with us when doing so to fit on stuff then what are we suppose to do if the shoes and clothing does fit?

This afternoon I went to Pep at Queen's corner,around 17:00, I found the door closed, and checked the trading hours on my phone, I saw the closing time is 18:00, waited outside for more than 15minutes, cashiers were busy talking amongst each other pretending as if they don't see Me standing outside, I waited for the customer that was inside to go out, cashier came and opened the door for the customer, she then closed it infront of me, as if she doesn't see me, I knocked on the door feeling like stupid, I asked her as to why is she closing the door without advising me of their rules and work schedule, because I am a customer ,I know nothing about your rules during this time, and for me waiting outside , I was thinking they only allowing certain number of customer inside the store, but guess what? I felt like a stupid, cashier banging the door in front of me without even greeting me or saying a word, pretending as if she doesn't see me, I want you to take your staff back to service training, because isn't only this Pep that is giving out poor services, all your Pep stores cashiers are very rude, they don't even greet customers...I do my shopping here at Queen's corner since is closer to home, but always when I come to the store I get poor service and have to leave the store with a broken heart, always, I need you to take part in this, address it with your staff, and I need feedback on this matter, I hate doing my shopping with a broken heart...Cashier's name is Boitshoko...your staff doesn't know the high five, are you just hiring people without taking them to training ? I need feedback on this matter!!!!!

Disappointed ex customer of PEPkor

I bought curtains at the PEP Home at Greenacres Bridge. The sales lady told me there were two curtains in the packet - packet doesn't say, when I got home, there was only one. Now I have to spend petrol which is expensive to go back and hope they have another two matching curtains for what I bought. At the time I bought 2 pillows, 3 curtains, and other items. I cannot believe there is only 1 curtain, most windows take two, but I suppose this is just another way to force the customer to buy at a higher cost so PEP can make even more money. I belong to PEP Club by the way and I am very angry about this. The sales person couldn't even help with measurements. Lack of training is no excuse.
