Disgusting behavior during call back.

It's been enough of a battle trying to get quotes for tablets for the business I work for. I submitted a call back from the cell c web page. A few calls were missed as I was not in the office. When I eventually got a call with both parties present. I'm met with someone talking to someone in the background, clearly with food in her mouth. Completely unaware I have answered the phone. I repeatedly said hello into the phone and the woman on the other side just kept talking to her friend or whoever it was on the other side. She just remained totally oblivious to the fact that I had answered the call.

I have the recording of the call since this was a business line she called. Too bad I never took the reference number down as I assumed it would be emailed to me.

Hi

You can contact me on *** or at ***

The incoming call in question was from 08145 at 16:07 on 4 February to the number mentioned above.

To add, I went to the store at Menlyn Shopping center in Pretoria to request a quote in person (5 February). It was difficult, but I was told I would receive a quote. 
I spoke to a Katlego at one of the cubicles who was polite and friendly, but he had to confirm with his manager if he could send me the quote for the 12 Tablets.  
I have not received any quote as of yet.
