I was Lanseria Airport yesterday 2nd August and went to a counter to drop off a bag, the online check in of the bag having been done the previous day. Palesa was at the counter (counter no 14), and she asked me whether there were any travelers with me. I re**** in the negative and then she showed me the names of two unknown persons on the screen. I mentioned to her that these are persons unknown to me and the flight of the one person(my wife) who was supposed to be travelling with me was cancelled quite a few days ago. Palesa also asked me what time my flight was, and to which place I was travelling. I told her. I don’t understand why, when my name and identity details are on the screen, these should be asked of me. Then came along a stubby and stout ogre of a woman who didn’t ask but her tone was one of interrogation-the same two questions-what time is your flight and to where are you travelling. I even said to her that her tone was those of officers at customs and border controls for someone who was an aberrant traveler, and I mentioned this to her twice. She was not concerned but what she did was to try and stare me down, but I stared right back at her. Plain and simple attempts at intimidating a passenger for what reason I will never know. My check in was done and before I left, I asked Palesa the number of the counter and after some hesitation, she said that it was 13, noting that I had taken a good look at her name tag. I want the reader to note that Lanseria Airport which calls itself international is comparatively the size of the toilet sections of many airports. It is not rocket science that they employ imbeciles who think travelers are *****s, especially nonwhite travelers because many ****** blacks like fatty will not dare talk to white passengers in the manner described above. Moreover, recall that under the governments employment policies, absolute *****s, 30 percent matric pass persons are employed but one does not need even these qualifications to be polite, unlike fatty frog who was interrogating me. A complete lack of application of the mind and a lack of professional decorum. Lanseria is welcome to have a look at the incident on their camera/s, if their staff didn’t ***** it, for the said incident which took place between 3 and 3.30 pm. Flysafair, itself beleaguered by labour and othet staff issues, is an abettor to boot, if it does not take the matter up with Lanseria Airport and their idiotic staff, because I am a regular passenger. In any case, I hope that this airport closes down and its stupid staff lose their jobs and fatty dies of a stroke or heart attack or incurable disease.
I purchased a FRIDGE/FREEZER from TAKEALOT in and during DECEMBER 2024. When I noticed that the appliance had a defect, I immediately contacted TAKEALOT returns and advised about the reason for the return and thus LOGGED a RETURN. Since that time, I have had several tele- and e-mail communications with AZIZAH, KENT, JULIA, SIKHO, THRISHA, ROFHIWA, and VUYO. Each one uses the word “escalate” but of course one would never know when you will get a positive response. What these person are very quick with is to send an e-mail confirmation of the call and sometimes even faster, you receive an e-mail calling for a rating on the “service”. Recall that this return that was logged, and lo and behold, I even received an email from THRISHA saying that the return has been cancelled. I had to again call and clarify the matter with SIKHO. I specifically advised these persons in writing that the collection of the defective item was for a specific date and time. May I remind consumers out there that TAKEALOT has a complete lack of respect for time and timelines because they call upon you at any time for a delivery. Each person you deal with DOES NOT KNOW what the problem is until you advise these persons to refer to your e-mail, repetitively explaining the problem, and the solution required. Be that as it may, as you have noted that the item to be returned was a FRIDGE/FREEZER, with approximate DIMENSIONS of 1850x120x60(LxWxH). On THREE different occasions, a SMALL CAR was sent to collect this item. This really speaks a lot about the grey matter of the person in charge of deploying the person for collection. Again, this was brought to the attention of the returns department several times. And guess what? They do it again!!And send a small car and then you have to call again because the person with the small car can do nothing about it. After all, he is just the messenger!! I specially RECENTLY AND AGAIN mentioned in writing that the item was a large item and ADVISED AGAINST THE SENDING OF A SMALL VEHICLE. I SPECIFIED TIMELINES. Of-course, the advices failed penetration. I demanded of VUYO to speak to somebody in management, but this was refused. I have heard that TAKEALOT suffered some loss a year ago. Well, the facts speak for themselves. So, DO NOT BUY an APPLIANCE from TAKEALOT because they have a ROTTEN RETURN POLICY AND A ROTTEN ATTITUDE ABOUT IT. I have requested a FULL REFUND. But then again, who knows how long that will take, if ever. I hope TAKEALOT’S competition grows, and all their *********** STAFF grovel for future employment.
Recently did a review on hellopeter for STD diseased babk with no responses. I comp**** agaun with requirements. No responses. So I then called STD at its call centre. The lady could not help and directed me to somebody else. She gave me the number of a " team leader" ( sic), -Trust Madikane, - and gave me his/ her contact details. I sent an e- mail to this person. Cannot be trusted and re**** upon of course because he has not even acknowledged receipt of my message. But these are the type of.people STD employs. After sending the documents above in compliance with requirements *************, there are still no responses. So you see the rotten attitude. STD just doesn't care. DONT BANK WITH THIS ROTTEN INSTITUTION whose service must be the lowest of the low in its " service" industry.
Extremely Poor and ******* Service from Standard Bank I am the administrator of a deceased estate, acting on behalf of the executor. I submitted the required documents to Standard Bank (STD-yes, like in the disease) in order to process the estate matters. Initially, I was told by STD that the documents were unclear. In response, I sent clear copies, only to be told that the documents needed to be both dated and commissioned by a commissioner of oaths. While I promptly comp**** with this additional requirement, my main question remains: why was I not advised from the outset that the documents needed to be dated as well as clear and commissioned? After submitting a further set of documents, I received communication from STD stating they would revert to me within two days and that the matter was being processed. Keep in mind that this is a deceased estate, and the heirs are anxiously awaiting responses and, if applicable, funds from the estate. When more than two weeks passed without any communication, I emailed STD, stating that if I did not receive a response by the close of business that day, I would take the matter to social media and a consumer forum to warn others. On that same day, I also called the call centre, where I was informed that the queues were long, but that STD would call me back. STD did not call back. After more than 48 hours, I finally heard from STD, only for them to repeat their previous vague statements about the documents not being clear and reintroduce requirements that had already been met. The documents were clear, dated, and commissioned, yet their response remained the same, further demonstrating their utter lack of competence and regard for their clients. It is evident that STD Bank's staff lack the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively manage even basic administrative tasks. This entire experience has been incredibly frustrating, and STD’s failure to meet deadlines and communicate efficiently shows a severe lack of professionalism. I strongly advise against doing business with STD Bank. You may just get a disease. I would never recommend this bank to friends, family, or anyone else, as their *********** staff will only cause unnecessary delays and frustration. I strongly advise you not to refer any person to STD bank. You, and other people, will only end up experiencing the same ineptitude and poor service I’ve encountered. Never take your decesed estates matters to this stupid bank. It’s my hope that Standard Bank's competitors continue to grow and that the bank’s leadership takes a hard look at the severe deficiencies within their customer service departments. But I know STD will not. STD is too arrogant which is why STD has the “go to hell” attitude of not having the decency to respond even in the face of a threat to report STD’s rotten service on the social media and consumer forum. I hope the staff in the relevant department complained of die of an incurable disease and I hope the staff lose their jobs and are never employed anywhere, and that they grovel for an earning.
I am assisting a friend with the abovementioned entity(sic). I have several communications with these people for and on behalf of the friend. They communicate by sending several e-mail and SMS messages from various addresses and persons; and they also do not respond when you enquire about to their threats, whether by email, or when one tries to phone them. They give you only a mobile number and when you call, they never respond and/or take the call. They do not respond to your written communication and instead will intimidate you and harass you with several messages. It seems they have very poor or rotten inter communication because when you reply to an email, it is as if your query is not even looked at and another person will send you a threatening message. They also deal with one Whitelistings company(sic) and even these people do not respond to your communications. They have about five different email addresses and you receive an email from any and/or all at any time and when you respond, all communication ceases for a few days and then the threats and ************s resume. There is a complete lack of professional decorum on their part and no reputable company should have any dealings with them. It is not known how any reputable business can ever enlist the services of these people.
I regularly use safair (which isnthe last today)which is a low budget airline with a lot of competition. They have a ******* rule that you can drop off a bag only 2 hours before the flight. This means that you have to lug around your luggage at the airport until two hours before the flight. As I had my disabled wife with me, we needed to go.through security which I explained to the inefficient staff member. She was adamant that I had to wait until two hours before the flight. What is the purpose of such a rule? Plain and simple lazy ass staff employed by an airline with a stupid rule. Not flying with these people again. Hope their competition grows and their staff die of an incurable disease. Their luggage policy is stupid. Please use the competition. They even have better rates.
I went to this store to purchase some goods, more specifically, some deodorant. I tested one of these and a member of staff shouts out "no testing". So I said to him that there isnt a sign. And he says the sign is above and points to it. I see that that the sign was two metres above me where I think customers can hardly see it. When I mention it to him, he argues that customers do see it. Apart from the lack of professional decorum as this man was shouting at staff in front of customers as much as 15 -20 metres across the aisles, he also lacked any decorum when he spoke to me. Management ought to attend on this.
It is a pity that my previous review was removed. Allow me to set the record-it seemed only after a publication on this forum, there was a weak attempt by Hollard to ameliorate the situation. One Lebogang says he/she attempted to call. Considering the electricity crisis, before I could respond, the call was cut off. Lebogang sent an email to me saying that there was an attempt to call but the call was not taken. I then sent an email for his/her attention stating that the attitude was treated with deserved contempt. Recall that this response goes to admin so God kows who will attend on it, if ever. So, as an (insurance) service provider, is that it? Nothing further? I reiterate that Hollard's attitude and customer service stinks to the core and that consumers ought to be very wary when dealing with this company.
I have been in communication with a certain IUA which calls themselves "solutions for success"(can you imagine?) with regard to an insurance policy from Hollard. I submitted all the documents necessary and then called on IUA, whatever that means, in order that details of a policy may be explained to me. I spoke to no less than three persons in order to speak to Nombuso and none of the persons seemed to know here whereabouts at, wait for it, "ädmin". Note that they very vociferously say that their calls are recorded and therefore, I specifically mentioned that if I dont get a response from Nombuso by close of business on the particular day, I will report the matter to a consumer forum. I then sent an email to ädmin" to that effect and of course, I received no responses. This is the ******* attitude that clients and prospective clients of Hollard will have to deal with. This is a ******* company and I hope all their staff die of a miserable disease. Dont take policies with Hollard.
I received a call from the Wound Clinic at Flora in Constantia Kloof. I returned the call on behalf of a patient who needs an appointment. The person I spoke to had a rotten attitude when I mentioned that I received a call. The person curtly responded that she could not say who called even when I mentioned the patients name. I asked as to whether there was anybody who would know or if there was a patient record and she said a simple "No" or " I didnt call". So, it was simply that she did not want to help in any way. Thats the impression that I got. Not going to recommend anybody else to this ******* attitude. Will someone competent please attend on this very rotten service.
