Horrible customer experience ever

Am very annoyed by the treatment that I received from one of the staff members at Cell C (Birch acres mall in Tembisa), my cousin and I went to the store to buy a phone, as we were buying a phone, I then decided to inquire about the Router packages, I asked one of the ladies if they have unlimited deals (I asked her in my home language which is Tsonga) and I am puzzled with how she responded and treated a potential customer. In her own words she rep**** "Do I look like Shangani to you? Why do you speak with me in a language I don't understand?" And she was fuming. Not only did she disrespected me but also she undermines Tsonga speaking people, she even had the guts to tell me that I can not do anything as Cell C management cannot do anything about the situation. Is this how Cell C treat their customers or potential customers? How am I supposed to know that a fellow black person who works in Tembisa doesn't understand my language, and there is nothing wrong with not understanding but couldn't she have said "can we please use a different language as I dont understand what you are saying?", the experience that I had made me hate everything about dealing with Cell C. As you can imagine, yes I lost my cool and told her where to get off. I thought of letting this pass, but such arrogance and disrespect needs to stop right now, we are spending our hard earned money, we deserve to be treated with respect.

Good day Nhlanhla 

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. 

We regret to hear the of the unpleasant experience with our team. 

This is definitely not the norm with our staff. 

We will escalate this to the store and have it addressed. 

Do accept our humblest apology.
