Unfriendly Gordon Spar
Gordon Road Spar Before it burned down,Gordon Spar was our favorite shop. The staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. Today Dorcas and Emma proofed once again that our previous experiences, wasn't just a once off. There was 2 customers infront of me by the kiosk. I only wanted to replace my Spar card, as the old green one wasn't accepted any more. Between the 3 ladies standing around, no one bothered to attend to me. They helped the 2 men buying Cigarettes and then continued the cigarette converson among each other. I asked if they were planning on assisting me and was told that they thought I was with the elderly gentleman. Reluctantly, I was assisted and got my new card. I told Emma that after this I wasn't sure if I would need a loyalty card, because of the bad attitude. Got to the 10 item or less counter, Dorcas didn't bother to greet. We had 14 items... we apologized as we didn't count the groceries - just got stuff for a braai and the 2 fishing magazines that magically appeared Dorcas barked at us to "go to the normal tellers we have more than 10 items" "My Spar", of wich we were so proud of, now has a beautiful brand new look... unfortunately the great service and friendly faces are all gone Not at all a good experience on a Sunday afternoon!
