Bad shopping environment

On saterdsy the 21 of December I went to the waltons Port Shepstone branch to buy my childs stationary and what a unpleasant experience. Appon entering the store it felt like i entered a sauna so hot was the store. I moved to the section to buy my childs stationary only to find i could barely see the codes as half the store lights weren't working. I preserved as my child needed the stationary. Going to the tills ti pay the heat in the store was so unbearable that i left without psyung. I just would like to know how can Waltons expect customer to shop in such APPALLING condition let alone their dedicated staff to indure 8 hours of such heat as i believe the air-conditioning hasnt been working for more than 3 months.

Waltons Port Shepstone Im very disappointed about your stores disfunction taking into considerstion that its the South coast and the humidity is very high their.
