VERY, VERY bad service from Vodacom Shop Fourways!!

<p>On Thursday I called Vodacom Shop Fourways to find out if they had the Vodafone Smart Prime 7 and a person called John confirmed that they did have one last one in stock. I begged John to keep it for me, as my phone was damaged and I needed another phone urgently. He said he would and I cancelled meetings and made a plan to get to them post haste. When I got there, he was busy with another customer so I patiently waited. When he finally got to me, it turned out that the phone he had in stock was a totally different model and the price was 5 times more than the one he said he had in stock. Having been messed around and inconvenienced to a great extent, I still gave him the opportunity to make amends. John promised to get me the phone I wanted by the next day and said he would call me by 13h00. By 14h00 I had not heard from him, so I tried to get hold of him. He was busy with a customer, so I left a message. After an hour, when he had not responded to my message, I called again, albeit with a slightly irritated demeanour. The person told me that John had gone out for lunch, so you can understand my irritation as the situation started to degrade into anarchy. While I was venting, the person (unfortunately I failed to get his name) kept interrupting me. When I told him to stop interrupting me, he proclaimed that I was rude to him. He kept interrupting me and eventually put the handset on the table and walked off. I called again and spoke to a Rebecca and I made it very clear to her how unacceptable the situation was. John was still out on lunch, so I asked her to get him to call me. It is now 16h20 and still John has not called me. SHAME ON YOU VODACOM FOURWAYS!!! **** POOR SERVICE, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!! </p>

Reviewer Update

I called the owner of the shop and explained the issue to him. He informed his manager who very rapidly took care of the issue and even drove across Joburg to get the phone I wanted. He called me and when I arrived to collect the phone his staff were truly professional and caring. (The rogue staff metioned in my complaint was not there).

Thank you to Andre and Ernest for sorting out my problem.
