Woodmead Retail staff - rude and unprofessional

I wish to complain about the behavior of the staff at the Woodmead Retail branch, I returned a charger on Friday 29/10/2021 that I bought Thursday 29/10/2021(with a slip & original packaging), they refuse to return the goods stating we used it and that the supplier needs to approve the return. Being very angry I made a big fuss, but as we left the store the staff in the store laughed & mocked us - clearly a victory cheer. I find this offensive & unprofessional. I then tried tried calling call centres, facebook & instagram. the person at the instagram page did not want to introduce themselves & kept referring me back to the store. The same store that coursed the upset in the first place.

Correct me if I am wrong, but CPA allows for returns of goods within 7 working days, no questions asked.

I am now considering perhaps emailing one of the Directors of the Vodacom Group to see if he or she will be willing to step up or are they also taking the proudly South African attitude by passing the buck or perhaps the most famous one "we don't care & it's not my job".

Reviewer Update
Just an update, I had no call, no response other than the generic message. The Public speaker / Marketing Director of Vodacom Group (Mr Shameel Joosub) also ignored my email. Thankfully I am not with Vodacom, merely bought a charger from you & overpaid for a generic one. My husband went to Mtn & it was 1/2 the price. Guys all service providers have their pro & cons, but I have found Vodacom to have more cons than pros. Vodacom... I just wanted the branch in question to be held accountable for their actions, but like all things SA, no one is held accountable for their actions unless you are the consumer... lets try the ......consumer protection..... wish me luck
