CONSTANTIA,
Dear Dirk,
This is just a short note to thank you personally for your contribution to the excellent Western
Cape Result for August 1997, 1 am very aware of the effort and energy you have put into getting
and keeping your store World Class.
There are a few major concerns that we share for the February 1998 result. As you are aware
\We are revamping four of our largest stores which has had a major impact on turnover, gross and
the bottom line, There is also the ever present danger of shrinkage which if not constantly
watched, will result in serious problems.
There are also some major opportunities which you can take advantage of in your store, namely
1. Maximising merchandising opportunities to create the maximum tumover possible.
2. Using your deal sheets and price increase forms intelligently to boost your gross. Free
stock also covers your shrinkage
3. Being absolutely ‘unreasonable’ in applying the Ten Golden Rules consistently. This
creates customer satisfaction and repeat visits
4. Being ruthless in idemtfying and eliminating wastage in your business, particularly wages
and service area wastage.
The current six months is undoubtedly the most challenging and critical period in the Western
Cape's history and I'm sure that I can rely on your support to pull us through.
Yours faithfully,
Aba

CONSTANTIA,
Dear Dirk.
1 would like to take this opportunity of congratulating you on the way that you run Constantia
as an Assistant Manager. Everybody speaks exceptionally highly about you, particularly the
amount of energy and the amount of work that you get through
In view of the above, I am pleased to advise that your salary has been reviewed as of the Ist
January 1998 and will be increased by R500.00, bringing your total monthly salary to R8 000.00
per month, This increase recognises the enormous contribution that you make to the region
It is important Dirk, that we bed down some of the issues in Constantia that have been neglected
i.e. the wages - which Peter Snow is busy with, but I am sure that you will have this well in hand
din the next week or two.
Once again, my heartiest congratulations on a job exceptionally well done and keep up the good
work,
With kind regards
Yours sincerely

Dear Sir,
STAFF - CONSTANTIA VILLAGE SHOP
| wish to compliment your constantia village staff on the wonderful service
which they have given me over the past months.
My first problem was when a weedeater which I had bought did not seem to
work properly. I took it to the Constantia Village shop and was helped by
Raymond Amon who sorted out the problem in a most friendly, patient and
efficient manner. He showed me how to insert a new reel, and explained the
workings of the weedeater to me. | have not had a problem since!
'n December | did a big Christmas shop for the medical practice for which |
work, and was helped by Mr. Dirk Coetzee. He too, was most efficient and
friendly and ordered extra tins of biscuits for me as the store was out of
stock. I mentioned to him that ! was not looking forward to wrapping all these
gifts of wine, chocoloates and biscuits and to my amazement he offered that
the staff would do this for me. I was surprised to find the wrapped gifts
delivered to the medical practice within 2 hours of purchase. | would also like
to thank the staff members who wrapped all the gifts - (names unknown),
Just last week | had my daughters 21* birthday, and not being very familiar
with catering for a large crowd, | spent much time in the store speaking to theStaff at the deli, bread, meat, and fish counters, These staff members were
most helpful and offered good sound advice on products and on quantities to
buy. | unfortunately do not know them ail by name, but a big thank you to all
of them. They all helped contribute to a successful 21" birthday.
| have shopped in many Pick ‘n Pay stores in the past and have never come
across this kind of helpful service before.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,

Just a short note to congratulate you on how well the Constantia store was looking, From the
moment T entered the store, to the enthusiasm of the staff, to the wonderful point of sale which
‘was created as part of the Moon Madness Campaign. You have created a wonderful shopping

Omar Young took me around his back-up areas as well as the Fresh Food areas and it was really
a pleasure to see the standard of the merchandising, the variety and range on display as well as
the standards, hygiene and cleanliness that is now becoming so important in our lives
It was also a pleasure to look in your Receiving back-up areas and Receiving yard to see the same
