Customer Complains About “Tagpi-Tagpi” Boxes for His Groceries at Landers
LANDERS – A customer of the membership store has faced backlash after complaining about the “tagpi-tagpi” (or used) boxes used for his groceries.
Landers is a membership-based retail store in the Philippines, similar to Costco or Sam’s Club in the U.S. It offers a wide selection of products, including groceries, household items, and electronics, often in bulk quantities at discounted prices.
To shop at Landers, one needs to become a member by paying a fee, which provides access to exclusive deals and savings through bulk pricing. In addition to everyday essentials, Landers also carries non-food items such as furniture and electronics. The store often includes additional services like a pharmacy, a bakery, and dining options within its locations. With branches in major cities like Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao, Landers aims to provide a convenient shopping experience with a focus on value and savings for its members.
Landers recently came under scrutiny online after a customer named Lourd Ramos complained about the reused boxes used for his groceries. The customer questioned why, despite paying a membership fee and holding a premium card, his groceries were placed in such boxes.
His post quickly spread online, with reactions appearing on X (formerly known as Twitter). One netizen pointed out that the customer could have addressed his concerns with the store’s management immediately, as he had just made a purchase and was still in the store’s vicinity.
Another commenter implied that the customer might have recently switched from shopping at Puregold to Landers, hinting at a possible change in attitude linked to his new shopping destination. One comment sarcastically noted that the customer should be grateful for receiving a bag rather than just a paper bag, suggesting that the customer’s expectations were unreasonably high and showing a lack of sympathy for his complaints.
