Shocking products and poor service in response

I bought an AEG fan, valued at R549, last week only to discover its parts were completely shattered when we opened it. I returned to the store the following day (Friday Feb 3) to exchange it for another fan. I asked to have it opened in front of me, which it was. The parts of that exact fan were also shattered. I immediately asked for a refund. But I was told I could only get one if I produced my ID, or drivers licence. I did not have either on me and queried why I did not need to present this when I bought the (broken) item for cash. The staff, who were quite rude and unhelpful, told me that was the policy. So I had to go back home to collect my ID and then back again to the same store that had already inconvenienced me in the first place with their sub-standard goods. It is now three days later and I still have not received my refund, as I have been told that it takes three working days before I get my money. I find the whole episode appalling, the service poor, the refund policy bizarre - why should I have to wait for my own money for their pathetic experience - and I will never return to that store, or any other Checkers House & Home.
