On 20 January I sent SAB an email as below however they have chosen to ignore it. Ive followed up and they still ignore it. I will now post my experience all over social media.
While driving into Darwin Centre, I encountered a male standing in the middle of my driving lane (red sleeveless vest), using his phone and moving side to side. I honestly thought he is a unhoused person due to his physical appearance. A delivery truck was stopped a few metres behind him. The individual appeared loud, aggressive, and dishevelled, and made no effort to move out of the roadway. Despite seeing my vehicle approach, he refused to move and instead expected me to drive into the oncoming lane to go around him, with cars in the on coming lane.
I continued cautiously in my correct lane, at which point the individual became extremely aggressive. He hit my car, screamed at me, and used abusive and derogatory language. When all the cars passed, I attempted to overtake the truck to remove myself from the situation, I lowered my window and said "do not touch my car and do not swear at me", he just continued.
I asked the truck driver whether this individual worked with him, as the man pointed toward the truck while shouting. The driver denied any association. However, after parking my vehicle, the same man continued to watch me and my 7-year-old daughter, clearly observing where we parked. My child became so terrified that she refused to get out of the car.
We ultimately left the centre due to fear. Even while exiting the centre, this individual continued his threatening behaviour by pointing his finger at me in an intimidating manner and shouting further abusive language at me.
As we drove around the premises, I witnessed the truck moving to another exit, with the same man guiding the truck, confirming his involvement. At no point were hazard lights, reverse lights, cones, or any safety measures in place.
I later approached another individual assisting with the offloading, who claimed not to understand me and stated he had “started today.” It became apparent that the delivery was for Pick n Pay Liquors. After contacting Pick n Pay Liquors directly, the manager confirmed that the individuals involved work for SAB.
This incident was traumatic, intimidating, and completely unacceptable, particularly in a public shopping centre where families and children are present. I am deeply concerned about:
- The lack of safety procedures - Aggressive and threatening behaviour - Misrepresentation when questioned - The emotional distress caused to my child
I have taken photographs related to this incident and I have screenshots of my emails being ignored by SAB.
