I have just returned from a visit to Ackermans, Flamwood, Klerksdorp. It is a while since I saw such a mess in a department store. I appreciate that they have sales coming up, but at 65, I don't enjoy clambering over cardboard boxes and coat hangers spread all over the floor of the store, in order to find items. It really looked as if they'd had a or a Tsunami at the very least!
I enquired about bras which were advertised on their window and an assistant pointed to a large box on the floor... they hadn't yet been un-packed, but were all in a mangled heap. I wasn't about to ferret in a box for the size I wanted and the saleslady didn't offer me any assistance. Surely the sales goods should be unpacked out of hours, and the store tidied up and cleaned before clients arrive? This shop would appear to be understaffed, as well, as there are few salesladies on the shop floor, and nobody actually approached me to ask if they could be of assistance.
