Retail group Pick n Pay has clapped back at a TikTok content creator mocking men for using a Smart Shopper card to do groceries.
The content creator, in a now-viral video, joked that she found men who use a smart shopper card to do groceries “embarrassing”.
“Am I the only person who finds it embarrassing when a guy has a smart shopper card? Imagine now I am at Pick n Pay with my boyfriend and before he pays, he takes out a Smart Shopper card ... that's so embarrassing,” she said, laughing.
In a cheeky response, Pick n Pay said not having a Smart Shopper card and paying the full price was a “red flag”.
Pick n Pay Smart Shopper is a loyalty programme that rewards customers for shopping at the store.
“Imagine your boyfriend not being smart, not having a Smart Shopper card and paying full price. How embarrassing,” said the retail group.
