Stuttafords - Policy used for poor customer services

<p>I am writing to express my concerns about a recent incident I experienced at your store. </p> <p>Firstly I wasnt to commend the security ladies in the ladies wear department. They offered me more assistance than the Stuttafords sales person. Now if I thought I was invisable in the ladies wear department, I was in more of a chock when I got to the Footwear department. Firstly the sales shoes where so mixed up that I couldnt find the shoes displayed on the box without opening the boxes. In the half an hour I spent there about 5 customers must have passed through the shoe department and there were 4 sales ladies there. At one point I was the only customer. I then requested assistance from a sales lady for help and was given a size 4 left and a size 6 right shoe to fit and she unpolitley left me to join the other assistance to have a chat. This really infurieted me as the shoe I tried had laces that took forever to loosen and to get two different size was unexceptable. I then requested the branch number to speak to them and my requests was just ignored. I then requested thebranch manager call on me and all I got was "i'm sorry". No effort was made to find the correct shoe and the call to Michelle Roux, yeilded to joy either. Her comment was that it is company policy not to phone other branches for sale items and that she too was "sorry"</p> <p>The impression I got was that is too much effort to assist and that as long as it is policy, they are doing their jobs, getting a salary and do not care whether they get the sale or not.</p> <p>I always held Sttutafords service in high esteem, but after today, I will not be shopping there again. It was the worse 30 minutes I spent looking for shoes and got the instinct feeling the sales people were pleased to see me take my business somewhere elsewhere as I am sure they are not there to make a sale but earn a salary.</p> <p> I left without my desired products and am extremely disheartened by the lack of service by one of the few outlets I held in high regard.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

NOT A CHANCE I WILL ENTER THAT STORE AGAIN. MY SUNGLASSES THAT HAVE PERSCRIPTION LENSES WERE LEFT IETHER IN THE DRESSING ROOM OR AT THE SHOE DEPARTMENT WHICH IS THE ONLY PLACES I WENT TO IN SANDTON CITY STUTTAFORDS, AND IN SPITE OF YOU HAVING CAMERA'S ALL OVER THE SHOP, NO ONE CAN FIND IT.

I RECEIVED A VOICE MESSAGE THAT YOU FOUND MY SUNGLASSES IN THE DRESSING ROOM. SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE CLEARED BEFORE THE NEXT PERSON USES IT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SORTED OUT IMMEDIATELY IF SOME EFFORT WAS MADE TO LOOK FOR IT AS SOON AS I CALLED AND ADVISED YOU THAT I HAD LEFT IT THERE. I WILL COLLECT IT TODAY.
