Bad service is spelled: j-o-h-a-n-j-a-n-s-e-n-v-a-n-v-u-u-r-e-n. Before I spend a lot of money on something I want to make sure I’m getting exactly what I need. The tech guru I listen to on the radio rates the Apple Ipad as the best tablet on the market. My BlackBerry PlayBook is still functional but no longer up-to-date. I researched the various Ipads and chose to purchase an Ipad mini 4 in the new year. However, my mom told me they were having a 20% price hike on the 1st of January and at R7000 already, this was the limit I wanted to spend. Dave went with me to Somerset Mall and even though I could get the Ipad at 5% less at Dion Wired, I chose to go to the Istore as they offer free, unlimited back up and support. I waited in the queue for a free sales assistant and Aishaa Botha
was the first person available. I queried the price and she said she would inform her manager as they should be the cheapest. When she planned on doing that was not clear. She then asked if I wanted a silver, gold, or space grey back cover. I queried the difference and she told me that the front screen border would be black or white depending on my choice. As I prefer the clean look of the white surround I was told I could get silver or gold. Before I made my choice I enquired whether the protective cover covered the back. I was told all covers concealed the rear so I told her the colour would not matter. Turns out she was wrong! They did not have generic covers in stock and at this stage I was not offered the Apple cover which only protects the screen. Had I been offered this I would have asked for the gold backed Ipad. But Aishaa chose silver for me. She sold me a glass screen guard and charged me for the items and attempted to process my Diners Card. After 2 attempts she worked out that the store does not take that specific card. I then paid with my Amex card and she opened the box and tried to put the screen guard on. This failed as it did not fit and so the assistant sales manager was called. The assistant sales manager was aware of this problem and I was now peeved off that I would have an Ipad with no screen protection, or cover protection what-so-ever. The assistant sales manager then came back to me with an offer of a 5% discount on an original cover at which stage my sense of humour failed. The manager was called and out walked the man who had interrupted my sale as he didn’t want to assist a customer. He would not listen to my complaint, bullied the sales staff and I left upset, without my Ipad being set up, the details of the sale explained to me and not even a bag for the box. I had not had the Ipad for 5 minutes and already I was regretting my purchase! This is a huge investment for me and something I have saved the entire year for. The one thing I never regret is baking bread. This recipe for butternut bread was a total experiment as I chose to make it in the oven. The original recipe calls for the bread to be cooked in a pot which you place into the coals of a barbecue.
