Staff Attitude & Customer Service - much to be desired!

Earlier today I visited your Pinetown store to purchase some 90ml Duram paint samples. The Ceres Cherry was in order, but all 3 remaining pots of the Ceres Blush were only half full! I am aware that this sometimes happens when the filling machines need to be recalibrated. However - the attitudes of the "gentlemen" staff members behind the paint counter leave a lot to be desired!

They couldn't top up one of the sample pots because then they would have one less to sell!!! Really??!! I am perfectly aware that any defects etc would be claimed back from Duram Nor could they give me a discount for 2 pots so that I could pay R35 for the correct 90ml, as marked on the container.

Most troubling was that the defective paints were put right back on the shelf - to con the next unsuspecting customer! And also the "shrug shoulers" and f&*% the customer attitude of the staff. This is not the first time I have had the same sort of attitude from the Pinetown staff, but I won't come acrosss it again; because this is the very last time I will ever step foot into this store!

I suggest all your floor managers pay a visit to Build It to find out how customers SHOULD be treated

Hi Sharon,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I'm sorry for the experience you've had and for the lack of service received.
