Impossible to speak to Standard Bank Robertson

<p>I have been a Standard bank client for over 50 years. I transact through JHB but live in McGregor and the nearest branch is Robertson. I tried today to phone Robertson Branch and used the 086 number given. Well after listening to a number of options which did not apply to me and took much of my time, I managed to get a voice that answered me. "Please, I said, I would like to speak to Standard bank Robertson. " Why - I was asked? I wish to talk to them about foreign exchange. I get put through to foreign exchange general and have to press buttons but cannot get to Robertson. I wasted more than 10 minutesto try make a simple call. I need to speak to Robertson Branch so will now have to travel 40 kilometres because Standard bank have once more proved them selves to be as un-user friendly as possible. Maybe after July it is time to leave ?</p>
