Contacts/communication

<p>I bought an iPhone last week. </p> <p>Today (1/1/2017 I wanted to know if store at Sandton City or Mall of Africa are open. . </p> <p>I googled phone number. I was repeatedly taken to an automated answering service. Of course I could not get any correct response as they do not work on a Sunday and I did not get to speak to a human. None of the options available related to my inquiry. </p> <p>I went to to the email address referred and again, of course, it was impossible to follow instructions. </p> <p>All I wanted to know was whether the shop is open today and book an appointment. </p> <p>Why are the phone numbers of individual branches not advertised?????</p> <p>The lack of communication to clients is astounding bearing in mind that Apple is all about communication. </p> <p>I now have no choice but to physically go to the branches as my inquiry is very urgent and needs to be solved TODAY. </p>
