I notice that Takealot have started charging a collection fee. Why? I understand a delivery fee of R75.00 for orders under a certain value but why charge a your customer who is spending their own time and petrol money to drive to your outlet R35.00 for the privilege? It's as ludicrous as Woolworth or any other retailer charging you an extra R35.00 every time you choose to shop with them. I think it is a very bad business practice.
I am so sick of calling DSTV ( their self help platforms have very limited options/responses).I called this morning as it wasn't downloading programs from CatchUp. I went through the usual disconnect/reconnect until my airtime ran out. I was told someone would call me back. They didn't. Now I have no signal(so from bad to worse) and have been told I need to contact an installer. GATVOL!
A small component on one of their swivel mops broke rendering it useless. I decided to try calling them but with zero expectation of success. They put me through to the correct department and asked me to forward a photograph. Tt They had it in stock, delivered it to my home in the CBD within a few days, refused payment for it and gave me a spare just in case. Now that is what is called top-notch service.
I have been trying for 2.5 hrs to resolve a billing issue with one of their BOT's. Useless. Still no response and they do not offer an alternative means of communication ( no phone number) . Not user friendly at all!!
Four of us went to Barristers on the 30th of Dec. We orderedv3 starters, 1 main and a bottle of wine and some sodas. We arrived at 8 pm and halfway through our meal were told that if we wanted anything else we should hurry up and order as the kitchen was closing early so the staff could "save their energy for the following night". Really made us feel special (sarcastic). Not good enough.
Although the salon I use in the Garden Centre has expert stylists and very friendly staff, the company has a habit of randomly increasing their costs which is very annoying. Recently they ran a special of a wash, blow dry, and flat iron for R200.00, which then became R220.00 then R230.00 and now if you want the flat iron included it is R330.00. This senseless price jumping is the reason I left last time after using them for decades.
A friend and I had dinner there last night and it was a memorable experience for all the right reasons: interesting menu, attentive service and a vibey atmosphere. I would happily dine there again and again.
on the 11th of Oct I bought a cheeseburger from the Steers branch attached to the Engen garage in Mill Sreet, Cape Town. NONE of the staff putting together the hamburger wore gloves. Surely this is not correct or meets food outlet regulations??
I was unable to find my parking ticket during loadshedding and wished to exit. The staff on duty were unhelpful, insisting that I pay R35.00 for a lost ticket. When I reached my car I found the ticket and went back to obtain a refund. They refused saying " It is in the system now, there is nothing we can do". This is theft. I will avoid using their Karabo at all costs in future.Happened at Howard Centre
I buy all my make-up from Clicks, more specifically the L'Oreal range. I have complained on at least 4 occasions at various branches that the blusher (Le Blush) container breaks at the "hinge section" after about a month's use. No one will take up the complaint, saying they don't know who the rep is etc. I eventually emailed the sales manager at L'Oreal in Johannesburg who after several weeks curtly dismissed my complaint with " no one else has ever complained". The fault means that one has to close it another way (an elastic band wound tightly or similar) otherwise the lid pops off and you have blusher all over everything in your handbag. Annoying!
