Poor customer service

I went to the Springfield store around 14:30, I was looking for 3KG bio classic and was unable to find it in the department so I saw an elderly Indian man and tried to get his help but he was busy shouting another guy, I looked in the detergent isle and was unable to find it. I went to look for help and no one was willing to help so I went to the sporting goods department and the guy assisted me and showed me the isle and I found the item. I went to pay at the Express tills and I stood by the exit sign as there was no clear indication where to stand. 5 minutes later an African guy came and told me to stand the other side and just before I could there another customer just came in and the cashiers assisted him. I'm waiting in the line and the lady next to express till looks at me like I'm supposed to know if she's free and calls the guy behind me. Frustrated and just wanted to pay and leave the shop I eventually get to the cashier. Took out my Makro card and FNB credit card the cashier does not even ask if I have an Ebucks card. I understand with lockdown the store is busy but staff can't be treating customers like this. I'm shocked at the level of service that Makro has. There are a few helpful staff but as for the rest they don't care

Reviewer Update
A guy contacted me by the name of Ashleigh however just stating that the people will be dealt with however with regards to my issue about the fact that when I paid the cashier had not even asked if I had an Ebucks card to make payment. With my frustration and wanting to leave the store I had forgotten to use my Ebucks card and the cashier didn't even bother to ask me if I had one. All other stores that have loyalty rewards ask if you have their respective cards. It's amazing how customer service has changed. A few months ago I had ordered online and due to no stock I was given a voucher, I hadn't complained and was given the voucher because I understood. This however is due to level of service given by that specific store. Even when I had emailed, I had to send numerous follow ups just to get a response
