Worst experience ever

I went to collect money on the 3rd May that was sent via western union to me from the UK. I approached the counter as explained to lady that I am receiving money. She gave me the form to fill in, so I asked if she had a pen to borrow me, and I got told no, someone took it, but she doesn't try and help by asking her college to borrow her a pen so after standing their for 5 min for a pen I left to go find a pen. Filled in the form and went back. She doesn't great me, she just takes the form, and now she has a pen, she then tells me I have to fill in some other places on the form which wasn't told to me the 1st time when i was there and I cant use her pen cause its a different colour, so I send my husband to go fetch the pen again , fill the rest of the form out, give it to her. She doesn't tell me how much I'm going to get out ,like the other tellers were doing, she just processes it. Then I get told just sign here. What a rude person to think our international client must deal with this kind of attitude. If she can handle a SA resident like this how is she treating the international clients, Pathetic customer service
