Vodacom Shelly Centre is the worst!

So disappointed with the Vodacom shop in the Shelly Centre. I have never had a problem with the Vodacom shop at the South Coast Mall. I struggle to walk and cannot drive so I went to Shelly Centre every in hope that I would be able to resolve the problems with my cellphone. After an hour in the queue outside the shop and queue is not moving, I give up. Yesterday, I queued for an hour to get into the shop and was in another queue for over an hour. This time we had stools to sit on. I eventually saw the wonderful Linda. She is brilliant and assisted 3 other clients while she transferring data from my old phone to my new phone. I watched staff gong out on their lunch break. There was Linda and one other when she sad I would need to see someone else to complete the job. She said sit at John's desk because he will back soon and it would take 10-15 minutes, I had been there nearly 3 hours and I was exhausted but I could manage another 15 minutes. John came back with a client and went to another work station. I now need to get a lift to South Coast Mall so Vodacom can assist me. Linda at Shelly did 95% of the job. I was there for over 3 hours and could not face another hour! The Vodacom Shelly shop has always been bad news. It is either short staffed or it is not being managed. I suggest that the Vodacom at South Coast Mall ***** Linda and Vodacom either close Shelly Centre, increase staff or employ a good manager.

Vodacom phoned me but I still need to get the job done. I guess I will need to get a lift to South Coast Mall. I have lived here for 8 years. Everyone has always said "Don't waste your time at Vodacom Shelly Beach. They are useless!" Not true. Long wait but Linda was amazing! The rest of the staff are seldom there or only serve their friends. Whoever owns this branch should get a new or close the branch down.
