Didn't follow through

<p>I wanted to purchase an item from Edgars in Cape Gate yesterday. The item was not in store, and the assistant determined that there was one in store in Somerset West. She took my details, promising that she would immediately contact the Somerset West branch so that they can keep the item for me. She was very uncommunicative and blunt, which I didn't find professional at all. Today, something told me to call Somerset West myself, just to confirm it was done. A very friendly gentleman, Charles, informed me that nobody had called and that the item is no longer available in my size. He started calling other branches, which I really appreciate. However, I feel that the assistant in Cape Gate acted very unprofessional.</p>

To make matters worse, Charles from Somerset West just returned my call. He said that no branches in the area have the item in my size anymore. It is part of a set, and I already bought the other half. Now I have to return the item. This is really terrible.
