I was outsmarted😡
I went to get a type of gadget, but I had to go to three gadget outlets, and they didn't have what I was looking for.
I eventually stopped at this store and was assured that I could get it on pre-order. I decided to get what was available. I asked the attendant, Are you sure this is available here, the attendant said YES, Ma'am.
Mmmmh, I was so tired and I wasn't even thinking now, I was asked to make payments and then I paid, and then another lady was writing a receipt for me. They gave me a seat, I sat and they also brought me, a bottle of water. I took it and said, thank you🙏.
Because, it's a big store, I sat, thinking that they probably have to go get it from an inner store inside, and get a person who would ensure that the gadget is properly tested.
Then I waited 5 minutes, then 10 minutes and time kept going, I didn't see the young man who was attending to me. I asked, please where is this man, the ladies hurriedly said; he is coming and we have called him.
😳 Wow!, That was when it dawned on me that, they didn't even have the gadget, I actually paid for in the store and went to another place to buy it 🙉
My God, that was a fast one they played on me! Because I usually had places where I get gadgets from, it was because I was looking for a particular type and didn't get it there that was why I came here.
He would have just honestly told me that it's not here because I asked, I was so p1ssed 😡, I got ups8t and started expressing my displeasure. Some supervisors came to apologise, after seeing how 😡ngry I was, they decided to start bombarding him with calls and he returned after a while.
I w@rned him, not to m33ss with me like that, I did the necessary checks on the gadgets alongside them and I got it I left.
What I learned today is that before I make a payment, show me what I want to buy! simple, just to be sure you have it, because I really felt that I was played big time.
I finally drank their water to calm down oh😉
My Saturday morning rant.
