I received a call from a rocket scientist purporting to act on behalf of MTN, and having full details of my contract with MTN. This is ******* in so many ways. MTN is handing out customer data to any Tom, **** and Harry that expresses interest, including this little fly-by-night thing called Mondo Mobile.
****mers Pretending to sell insurance on behalf of Old Mutual. Apparently part of Blu Label Telecoms, so you just know they cannot be trusted as they seem to think that the ECA does not apply to them. BEWARE AND AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Listed on truecaller as ****mers to protect unsuspecting victims.
I completed a credit application online for a laptop I wanted to buy. So Incredible sent me a message stating that I need to take an ID, Driver's License or Passport to their branch in Vaal Mall. I get there and after waiting for forever to be assisted (combination of numerous customers and slow staff), I was met by the Financial Director herself, Lerato, who upon seeing me driver's license (despite IC email stating it could be used, and despite another IC branch assisting me in early December with only my license) starting oohing and aahing. She practically told me about 7 times "I am afraid it won't work" to which I kept on replying that it worked in Sandton, it will work in Vaal Mall. Only once I told her to stop making excuses or cal lthe manager to come and assist me, did she wake up to the fact that the drivers license would work. So the next morning I was pestered by the IC credit department who told me that Lerato captured information incorrectly by swapping my name and surname around. I phoned Lerato and was told that it was the credit department's fault and not hers. Lerato needs to be removed from credit applications to an area better suited to her talents, as credit applications are clearly not her strong suite. I cannot understand how a credit application can go down without any issues in Sandton, but go to Vanderbijlpark, and suddenly there are issue upon issue. How do you employ staff that cannot even complete an application correctly and is adamant that she knows better.
So against all good advice, I decided to buy meat on Friday from Food *****'s Market Vanderbijlpark. My word, I thought I got some nice meat and sausages. Come Saturday and we have a braai and what I was putting on the braai was not beef as the package stated. but could have been horse, or donkey or dog for all I know. What I do know, was that it was more than 90% fat and bone and it was so heavily spiced, that I am assuming that this was horse, donkey or dog past the sell-by date. Food *****s Vanderbijlpark is sinking down a very slippery hole even further into oblivion and I do not know where it will end.
I originally asked for a quotation in November 2023, but I get called on the 22/23 of Feb 2024. More than 3 months later. So not only is my business not important, they also employ staff with very little understanding of vehicles or the English language, which I am myself, not a master of, but fluent. The first lady that phones had a voice like a cat being cut in half by a piece of tin roof. Not only did she have such a good singing voice, but for the love of Pete she could not figure out what a Cirtoën C3 Picasso was. After repeated attempts to tell her what car I drove, I was fed up and dropped the phone. She phoned again, like shampoo instructions, this was a case of rinse and repeat because even though phoning about an hour later, her knowledge of cars or conversation did not improve at all. Same story, phone was dropped again and thankfully she did not feel the need to phone again. This morning, I got interrupted again by a different lady who sounded much better. Now this unfortunately did not last long as this lady was convinced that 5 and 8 sound exactly the same. I can't anymore. I don't want to do business with your company because you can't do a simple web based quotation in 2024, but you insist on employing people who would never make it through SA Idols or SA's got talent. Please please please pretty please, stop phoning me now. I'll get a maintenance plan from a company that knows what a Citroên C3 Picasso is.
So I have a Citroën C3 Picasso Panarama with a glass roof, and recently I drove behind a large vehicle which shot up something, causing the roof to crack. I duly phoned Citroën to get a quote on the piece of glass, which I estimate to be little more than 1m x 1m and got a quoted a price of R41 000. Now I do not know where Citroën SA gets off charging R41k for a piece of glass like that when windshields on bigger cars go for far less, but this is daylight ******* on the same scale as the recent FTX crypotocurrency exchange collapse! I think someone at Citroën is thinking that they need to charge similar prices for parts as those used on Ferraris, Rolls Royce and Maybach cars.
I ordered a very wide mix of products over the weekend, and everything was delivered on Tuesday as expected. It's refreshing to deal with a company that has such good service and prompt processing of an order even if it comes from different distributors. Would recommend them highly.
There are few people on earth like Petros at Arx Valdex. Dealing with him is an absolute pleasure. He always has good deals and always goes the extra mile for his clients. I really wish there were more people like him.
The Chicken Licken branch in Frikkie Meyer Boulevard is my personal guilty pleasure trip. I love their chicken and their staff are truly tops! Other chicken outlets who's name starts with a K and ends with a FC can learn a lot from Chicken Licken.
I have dealt with Wootware for more than 10 years now and it's always been a pleasure. Great prices and great customer service makes for an enjoyable customer experience! Keep up the good work guys!
