I would just like to compliment Absa Pinelands two very special ladies - Nurhaan & Kaylin for their excellent service . They are both always very helpful and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Nurhaan especially has the patience of Jobe especially when dealing with an old pensioner like myself. they both deserve to be given a huge bonus!!
Without Prejudice : Can anyone advise me how to go about getting a current invoice from Eskom's billing dept. You send them email after email and all you get is a different ref. no with the standard receipt of email info - each time you send an email to find out as to when you can expect the requested account invoice. Going onto Alfred the chat robot is a complete waste of time.! Also they send out their invoices very late in the month so if you have tenants that need to pay their monthly Eskom bill the invoices are never received in time. Sometimes the invoices only arrive on the 30th of the month !
We went to Barristers last Saturday night. Very disappointing meal considering it was R880.00.for the 2 of us. No wine ordered. My starter was snails in garlic sauce- the snails were tuff like leather and the garlic sauce was just awful - no taste of garlic on the snails or the sauce. The 2 Fillet steaks were badly burnt on the outside- but the inside was done perfectly. John's chicken livers were apparently really good. We had to cut off the outside burnt bits of the steak. I actually asked the waiter if the steak was done in a marinade & he said yes, Both steaks were absolutely tasteless-! We have eaten there before and the food was always good. We did'nt complain except about the snails to the waiter as we did'nt want to cause a scene as the restaurant was quite full. 'Maybe the chef was tired after Valentines day the day before.
I am struggling to get Eskom invoices for December 2024 from Eskom. When you go into the Eskom Website a Kana message comes up with the following message: THE SERVER IS TOO BUSY TO HANDLE THE CURRENT REQUEST: How can a Server be too busy to take on any new requests-this message has come up for the past few days. So if you have a major Eskom problem you will not be able to log on to Eskom! Eskom has closed their offices so now you have to do everything on line - but the server can't take nay more requests!!!!!
This morning I called THE ABSOLUTE PETS BAYSIDE TABLEVIEW BRANCH and asked the African man who answered the phone if they still had any of the "Puppy sling bags that you put over your shoulder to carry your puppy in". I was told that the Sea point Branch had got one from them for me but it has taken now 2 weeks for it to be sent to them. This guy told me - without even looking - NO - they do'nt have such a thing,I I told him he was talking absolute nonsense because Sea Point branch had got one from his branch - and he promptly cut me off -really! that is the kind of person Woolworths employs . Obviously the man does'nt understand English. I could hear he had absolutely no idea what I was talking about - but instead of saying so - he just cut me off. Obviously not trained properly so if you do'nt know what the client/customer is talking about you just cut the call off. Well trained by Woolies who own Absolute Pets.
Dealing with Eskom Western Cape is a nightmare! We have been trying to get Eskom to send 2 new accounts to our new email address which we advised them of in January 2024. We were told it takes Eskom +- 2 months to change an email address!!!! REALLY! Then when they do reply to about our 5th email reminding them of our new email address - the message says documents will follow shortly with a ref no.- but they are still sent to our old Webafrica email address. which is incorrect .Fortunately we are still receiving the Webafrica emails even though we cancelled their service in January 2024. All you need to do to change an email address is to replace the old one with the new one - how can that take Eskom 2 months.!!!! Can anyone suggest who we can contact high up in Eskom to sort this out as this is a business account we are talking about. still pick them up via Webafrica but that email address has been closed by us. For goodness sake all you do is delete the old email address and replace it with the new one. Does anyone know who we can contact at Eskom who understands what we are trying to get them to do
I have been a customer of Truworths for 58 years & apparently there is no problem with my account as it is always paid up to date. Today I went in to Truworths Cavendish and wanted to increase my limit by R1 000.00 and I was told NO you cannot increase your limit - you can only increase your limit when TRUWORTHS sends you an SMS asking you if you want your limit increased which is maybe once or twice a year - I do not recall ever receiving such an SMS! last year.- but be that as it may - I only wanted to buy a pair of PUMA takkies that were on sale of R950.00 Apparently they can only increase the limit when the system sends out an SMS to you maybe once or twice a year., which I do not recall having received. They are not allowed to increase a customers limit manually on request. Very antiquated system if you ask me. Surely they should look at the profile of the customer first before say NO! Fortunately I found the very same pair at Kenilworth Access Park and only for R750.00 - Thank you TRUWORTHS!!!!!!!! CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SERVICE FOR SURE!!!!!!
Woolworths are selling a 6 punnet of Quavas & a 9 punnett of Quavas for the very same price of R45.99. This was confirmed by a manager in the store! I thought they had made an error when pricing the fruit. Same goes for the White Nectarines which are selling for R76.99 a punnet. The manager I spoke to said that Woolworths are aware of this but say that the fruit of the 6 punnett of Quavas & nectarines are larger fruit in size than the 9 punnett . This is absolutely not true as the weight of the 6 punnetts fruit -(we checked) was less than the 9 Punnett and the quavas were basically the same size as the 9 punnett in question. Being a pensioner and a regular Woolworths shopper, I check the prices carefully. This just does not seem right to me or what!!
FIRST NATIONAL BANKS SLOGAN SHOULD NOT BE "HOW CAN WE HELP YOU"BUT HOW CAN WE NOT HELP YOU!!!! WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET ASSISTANCE FROM THE FOREX DEPT HERE IN CAPE TOWN AND HAVE BEEN SENT FROM PILLAR TO POST. NO ONE CAN ASSIST US - THEY EITHER DO'NT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR RECOMMEND OTHER BRANCHES AND WHEN WE GO THERE THEY TELL US NO THEY DO'NT HANDLE FOREX. SO HOW DOES ONE GET ASSISTANCE FROM FNB - ANYONE KNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I have been a client of theirs for atleast 50 yrs.
Since when do you have to hand in your handbag and whatever other bag you may be carrying to the lady in the change room - I have been to Kenilworth Woolworths now twice and gone to the change room in the clothing dept and been asked to hand over my bags! I flatly refused ! I shop at Woolies a lot and this is the only Woolies that ask you to give them your bags. What a lot of rubbish - they give you a disc for the amount of items you want to try on so why must you give them your bags! Something fishy about this ! I just gave them the item back and walked out. Yesterday I told some guy who looked like a manager the story and he just said thank you for telling me.
