‘Pick 'ni gay Gl SUPERMARKETS 21 October 1997 DIRK COETZEE PICK 'N PAY 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 NICK BADMINTON PS, THERE IS NO REASON WHY WE CAN'T BE PERFECT. A DIVISION OF PICK 'n PAY RETAILERS (PTY) LTD. nea.

Ackerman Pick ‘n Pay Main Road CLAREMONT 7700 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 the Staff 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.
