Spar
Industrial espionage

We recently decided to have a braai at work, I took it upon myself to gather the prices and inform each employee what their contribution will be. On 30 July 2013 i went to my local spar at Retail Crossing Weltevreden Park. I had a list of the items and moved around the store gathering the prices. At one stage I heard someone scream "hey", I looked around didn't see where it came from and continued my gathering of prices. While in an aisle I saw 3 men approaching me, and I heard the scream "hey" again. I was confronted by these 3 men dressed in spar clothing and asked what I was doing. I felt embarrassed as there were other shoppers around. The way i was approached i am sure shoplifters get the same treatment. I explained the list and the reasoning and that I was getting prices for a braai. The 1 man said that they get opposition that come and look at their prices. The other man took my list and looked at it unconvincingly. The way I was confronted by these 3 burly characters was aggressive in nature. Afterwards I thought, why as a consumer can I not check and compare prices. The next day I went to Pick and Pay on Hendrik Potgieter, I found every item cheaper there.
