I was your customer

This week I closed my edgars account down, after many years of being a customer, customer service has becoming appallingly bad Having misplaced my account card a few months ago I called and asked them to block my card. Which was done correctly. I then went to Edgars in east rand mall, stood in a ridiculous cue for 45mins, because there was only 2 service agents for 8 counters, the lady issued me with a new card. I then proceeded to pick out some stuff from the store which I wanted to purchase on my account, waiting again at a till point for 30mins, because there was only 3 cashiers for 10 tillpoints. Just to find out that they had infact issued me with a cash card instead of a replacement credit card. Forcing me to leave my items at the till and walk out. I now went back this week to get a new card and pay my installment and was offered a bad attitude instead. The woman behind the counter did not understand what I was trying to tell her and wanted to argue with me instead. I cannot believe in this day and age we have to resort to a shouting match in public, this is meant to be a representative of your company. I therefore paid my account off in full and closed the account.
