False advertising and Lack of respect and customer service

I have had the worse experience ever from the store in Claremont Cape Town. Manager - Miriam and store assistant - Amaarah. They were very nice when processing the deal. Called everyday because there is a deal to make. It's the after-service that shocked me to me core. Especially after my last call when Miriam, the store manager shouted at me and was very condescending, thinking that I do not policies and procedures of how retail stores work. If she bothered to speak to her sales person, she would know that I have been given the run around for 3 weeks. I purchased units during teh period when they had the cash back deal. Get cash back, when you sign up today. Today is now 3 weeks later. Miriam tells me that they never have cash in store and if they do, it does not amount the funds they need to give me, which then means they bank for that day and hope they get cash the next day. She then very rudely tells me, that I will just wait until she calls me and she doesn't know when that will be. It is not my issue if you do not have the funds. She also proceeds to tell me that in this day and age payments from customers are made via debit order, this brings me back to the question I asked, "why can you not EFT the funds to me since I have a debit order set up" this is false advertising and the fact that I am given the run around. Firstly Miriam, you absolutely lack customer service and youo forget that it is due to consumers that stores have business and all I feel like doing now is cancelling business with your company purely based on the lack of respect I received from you. amaarah could call me and pester me about a deal my partner wanted to take. What makes you think that I would recommend any person to do business with you after today.

I am sadly unable to amend the rating on the review I had left on the 5th of May related to the bad experience I received from Claremont Beares Store but I have left a New review regarding the below.

There has been an update and I can say without a doubt that Mushfeeqah, who is currently Acting Regional Manager and the Manager at the Wynberg Bearfes Branch absolutely blew my mind and in a good way. I did not expect any freebies, I just wanted honesty and respect. Mushfeeqah not only treated me with respect but she was honest with me and she definitely went the extra mile.

I will definitely be referring customers her way.

Mushfeeqah has managed to turn this experience around and all in less than 24 hours.

Thank you for the amazing after-sales service.
