Seeing Checkers getting bankrolled by not only FNB but now Discovery Bank's rewards programs, at the expense of Pick 'n Pay, makes me mad. Banks shouldn't decide who lives or dies. Checkers and FNB already rolled out the red carpet to American Sugarwater aka Starbucks to get a foothold in #SouthAfrica, at the expense of many excellent local coffee franchises, and now they want to kill off Pick 'n Pay. Not on my watch.

Pick 'n Pay remains the only retailer willing to stick their neck out and support Bitcoin via Lightning locally, let's reward them for that. A 15% kickback is not worth it longterm to kill of Pick 'n Pay shortterm.
